In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the organization responsible for creating federal regulations, setting specifications, and overseeing the personal care industry is the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA). Each emirate has its own municipality that handles inspections and market surveillance.
ESMA has implemented the Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme (ECAS), a product certification program for all imported and locally produced cosmetic and personal care products. ECAS ensures that products (both imported and locally made) meet all relevant technical requirements (health, packaging, labeling, and metrology) before being released onto the UAE market. ESMA issues an ECAS Certificate of Conformity if the cosmetic product complies with the requirements. This certificate is mandatory for distributing or importing the product into the country.
