MoIAT Product Safety Verification: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use the official verification tool to ensure the products you buy meet the required safety standards in the United Arab Emirates.
This scheme provides a way for consumers to confirm that the goods they are purchasing comply with the official safety standards set by the government.
Who it's for
This verification service is designed for all shoppers. Whether you are buying items for your home, for children, or for personal use, anyone shopping within the United Arab Emirates can use this tool to ensure their purchases are safe and meet regulatory requirements.
What you get
By using this service, you gain the ability to verify if a specific product meets the necessary safety standards. Specifically, you can check if a product has successfully met the requirements for the Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme (ECAS) or the Emirates Quality Mark (EQM). This provides you with peace of mind that the manufacturer has met the technical safety regulations required by the state.
What it costs you
Using this verification tool does not require a financial payment or a subscription. The process is free for the consumer; all that is required is the time to use the official app to scan the product's barcode.
The catch to know
While the scanning tool is helpful for many items, there are specific marks you should look for manually to ensure extra safety. When you are shopping for sensitive items—particularly electronics or toys—you should specifically look for the Emirates Quality Mark (known locally as علامة الجودة الإماراتية) to confirm they meet the highest standards.
How to apply
- Download the official mobile application provided by the government.
