The SON's mission is to promote consumer confidence and global competitiveness of Made-in-Nigeria products and services through Standardization and Quality Assurance. SON established the Mandatory product certification scheme (MANCAP) to ensure that locally manufactured products provide the required degree of satisfaction to consumers through compliance with applicable standards and government policies on standardization and conformity assessment.

A major attendant benefit of the SON certification to Innoson Vehicles is hitch-free exportations to other countries and mostly the African Countries.
