Which Products Require UAE ECAS Certification

ECAS (Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme) is the mandatory product certification system in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), overseen by the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA). This certification ensures that electrical and electronic products sold in the UAE comply with local safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and energy efficiency standards.

Certified Product Categories

• Household Appliances: Air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, etc.

• Lighting Equipment: LED lights, ballasts, etc.

• Information Technology Equipment: Computers, printers, etc.

• Audio-Visual Equipment: Televisions, speakers, etc.

• Power Tools: Electric drills, angle grinders, etc.

• Low-Voltage Electrical Equipment: Sockets, switches, etc.

Notes:

Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) have different authorized scopes, so brand owners should pay attention when applying.

Equipment listed in the ECAS catalogue must present an ECAS certificate when entering UAE customs. Failure to provide the certificate will result in customs refusal for clearance.
