Registration and Regulation of Cosmetic Products
for Dubai - UAE
Cosmetic products, such as detergents or food supplements, are regulated in the UAE. Product registration in the Emirates is mandatory in order to obtain the ESMA approval certificate and place the product on the market (Municipal registration). Through our headquarters in Dubai, we can facilitate full registration in the UAE through the Dubai Municipality, which allows the product to be sold throughout the UAE.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE IN DUBAI-UAE
Registering your cosmetic products in the UAE is essential for anyone looking to enter the market in this region. The UAE government strictly regulates the production, sale and import of these products, so it is mandatory to register them before launching them on the market.
The registration of cosmetic products in the United Arab Emirates is a process regulated by the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA ). This body establishes the safety and quality regulations that all cosmetic products must comply with before being placed on the market. GSO 1943/2016 and the Emirates Conformity Assessment System (ECAS) are fundamental in this process, ensuring that products comply with technical requirements in terms of health, labeling and packaging.
Only locally registered companies can complete the registration. This ensures that all cosmetic products in the UAE comply with current regulations and can be distributed safely.
At Belab Services we can efficiently register your cosmetic products, maintaining control of your brand and designating exclusive distributors or retailers.
