ECAS Registration for Food & Ingestible Products in the UAE
Food-contact materials, honey, organic products, detergents and bottled water all need an ECAS conformity certificate from MoIAT before they reach UAE shelves. We prepare your technical file, match each product to the correct GSO standard, and manage the MoIAT application end-to-end.
What ECAS means for food & ingestible products
ECAS (the Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme) is the mandatory product-conformity route operated by the Ministry of Industry & Advanced Technology (MoIAT). For food-contact, ingestible and consumer-chemical products, the certificate confirms the product meets the relevant UAE/GSO health & safety standard before import or local distribution. The certificate is issued by MoIAT and its Notified Bodies — our role is to get your dossier right the first time so the application moves without rejection or re-testing.
Food & Ingestible Categories We Handle
Each category has its own cabinet resolution, standard and certificate limits. Select your product type for the full requirements.
Food Contact Materials
Plastic, glass, ceramic, silicon, paper, metal, wood and rPET packaging intended to contact food — including the more demanding recycled-plastic (rPET) pathway.
Honey
Natural honey from manufacturers and traders, with declarations on purity, additives and processing, plus optional organic and Halal mark pathways.
Organic Products
Crops, livestock, processed food and fertilizers — each with its own evidence trail of organic certification, input records and laboratory analysis.
Detergents
Fourteen detergent classes from laundry and dishwash to industrial cleaners, each requiring a class-specific accredited test report and full formula declaration.
Drinking Water EQM, not ECAS
Bottled drinking water uses the Emirates Quality Mark (EQM) licence — and it stacks on top of two other certificates, so we manage the full bundle in one project.

UAE + GCC gateway
One partner for cross-border market access across the UAE and wider GCC — accredited by Dubai Municipality and Highfield/HABC.
How the application works
Four stages from product to issued certificate. We run the first three; MoIAT and its Notified Body issue the certificate.
Assess & match
We confirm the product category, cabinet resolution and applicable GSO standard, and map exactly which documents and tests apply.
Prepare the file
We compile the technical dossier, arrange accredited-laboratory testing, and prepare declarations, labels and conformity documents.
Submit & manage
We register and submit through the MoIAT portal, then manage reviewer queries and document follow-ups on your behalf.
Certificate issued
MoIAT / its Notified Body issues the ECAS conformity certificate. We hand it over ready for customs and distribution.
