Product registration in the UAE
Certain products must be registered, approved or cleared by the relevant UAE authority before they can be legally marketed or sold.
The applicable process depends on the product category, ingredients, intended use, manufacturer and emirate.
Prepare the product documentation
Product specifications, labels, certificates and manufacturer documentation may need to be reviewed before submission.
A complete technical file helps reduce avoidable application delays.
Identify the correct approval route
Different products can fall under different regulatory authorities and approval systems.
We first review the product category and intended activity before determining the applicable route.
