ECAS / MOIAT Certification

What is ECAS / MOIAT Certification?

The Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme (ECAS) ensures that products sold in the UAE conform to national standards. Products must be tested, inspected, and certified before they can be imported, distributed, or sold in the country.

Think of ECAS like your product’s official passport into the UAE — proving it’s safe, compliant, and ready for the market.

• ✔ ECAS Certification is mandatory for many regulated products.
• ✔ Certification is issued by MOIAT (Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology).
• ✔ Involves rigorous testing, inspection, and compliance with UAE standards.
• ✔ Ensures public health, safety, and environmental protection.

Why is ECAS / MOIAT Certification Important?

Without ECAS certification, your products could be rejected at UAE ports, fined, or even banned from the market. ECAS is not just a formality — it’s your proof that your products meet the country's strict quality and safety expectations.

• ✔ Unlocks access to the lucrative UAE and GCC markets.
• ✔ Speeds up customs clearance and avoids shipment delays.
• ✔ Builds trust with UAE buyers, distributors, and government authorities.
• ✔ Protects your brand by ensuring compliance with local laws.
