The UAE imposes strict safety and environmental standards on imported electronics. To legally import and sell devices, companies must obtain ECAS LVE (Electrical Low Voltage Equipment) and ECAS RoHS certificates. These confirm compliance with safety standards and limits on hazardous substances. Without them, no electronic product can pass customs clearance or be sold in the UAE.
Client’s Challenge
A client approached WorldWideBridge seeking certification for a batch of electronics destined for the UAE market.Main challenges:
- No valid IEC CB test reports available;
- Need to confirm compliance with British BS 3-pin plug standards;
- Tight deadlines — the shipment was ready;
- Lack of a local applicant with a trade license in the UAE.
WorldWideBridge’s Solution
WorldWideBridge proposed a turnkey solution with full project management:- Importer registration via the MOIAT system (UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology);
- Review and refinement of technical documentation — preparation of declarations and manuals in English and Arabic;
- Organization of testing in China through an accredited CB-LVD and RoHS laboratory;
- Appointment of a local representative with a valid UAE trade license;
- Submission of applications and document uploads in the MOIAT portal;
- Payment of government fees and issuance of ECAS LVE and ECAS RoHS certificates.
