A cable manufacturer planned to enter the United Arab Emirates market. To export and sell products legally, it was necessary to obtain ECAS and EQM certificates confirming compliance with UAE safety and quality standards. The project was implemented under full support from an international certification consultancy.
Objective
To ensure certification of low-voltage cables for supply to the UAE market.Tasks included:
- Obtaining an ECAS certificate from the MOIAT authority (formerly ESMA)
- Obtaining the Emirates Quality Mark (EQM), confirming compliance with national standards
- Organizing a factory audit and completing documentation with minimal time costs
Solution
ECAS CertificateThe consulting team prepared the documentation package and registered the importer in the MOIAT system.
The package included:
- technical file and factory description
- test reports from accredited laboratories
- a copy of the ISO 9001 certificate and quality management documentation
- factory layout, quality control plan, and declaration of conformity
Processing time — 1–2 weeks. No samples were required since the manufacturer already had valid test reports.
EQM Certificate
To obtain the Emirates Quality Mark, the team organized an on-site factory audit.Two auditors participated — an ISO 9001 specialist and a technical expert in cable manufacturing.
The audit included:
- assessment of production processes
- evaluation of the quality management and risk control system
- inspection of production areas and laboratories
- audit report
- EQM certificate
- license to use the quality mark for three years
Result
The manufacturer received:- ECAS certificate valid for one year
- EQM certificate and three-year license
All stages — from document preparation to audit completion — took less than one month.
The entire process was completed without additional testing or delays, enabling the company to quickly start exporting to the region.
