Product registration is the official process of obtaining regulatory approval, so a product can be imported, marketed, or sold. It shows full product compliance with UAE health, safety, and labeling laws. Regulatory approvals are granted by the Dubai Municipality, the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP), or the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA), each of these are for a different product type.
Through ESMA’s Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme (ECAS), businesses receive certificates confirming their products meet strict standards to show consumers.
Registration is required for cosmetics, food, health supplements, and other goods.
In UAE, unregistered goods can be seized at customs, banned from shelves, or recalled for safety risks. Product registration prevents this by proving products meet health, safety, and labeling rules set by regulators. Aside from avoiding fines, registration secures entry into supermarkets, pharmacies, and e-commerce platforms. Participation in government and private tenders requires product registration, making it essential for business expansion.
