Frequently asked questions

UAE Certifications FAQs

General answers to help you prepare for a product compliance discussion.

Which products need UAE certification?

It depends on product category, intended use and the applicable technical regulations. Some products may require conformity assessment, registration, type approval or other permissions. Check the current requirements for your specific product.

Are ECAS and EQM the same?

No. They are distinct conformity and quality-mark pathways with different scopes and conditions. The applicable route depends on the product and relevant technical regulations.

What documents should I prepare?

Where available, gather product specifications, manufacturer details, labels and packaging, test reports, declarations, existing certificates and clear product photographs. Additional information may be needed depending on the route.

How long does approval take?

Timelines vary with the scheme, product type, completeness of documents, testing requirements and authority or assessment-body review. A reliable estimate should be confirmed after the route is identified.

Can Qmaizen guarantee certification?

No. Final decisions are made by the relevant authorities and conformity assessment bodies. Qmaizen can provide guidance and support with preparation, but cannot guarantee approval.
