AUTHORIZED PERSON IN CHARGE
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.
In the United Arab Emirates, there is no formal "Responsible Person" as it is known in the European Union. However, the regulatory framework for cosmetic products requires registered local entities (whether importers, manufacturers, or distributors) to assume responsibility for ensuring that products comply with local regulations before being marketed.
REGULATORY AUTHORITY
The Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) is the primary regulatory body responsible for overseeing the safety, quality, and labeling of cosmetic products sold in the UAE. Registered local entities must ensure that products comply with the following key points:
PRODUCT SAFETY

Ensure that cosmetic products are safe for consumers.
COMPLIANCE WITH QUALITY STANDARDS

Verify that products meet the quality standards established by ESMA.
PRODUCT REGISTRATION

Every cosmetic product must be registered and approved before being launched on the market.
THE ROLE OF LOCAL ENTITIES
Since there is no such thing as a "Responsible Person," the authorized representative is responsible for complying with all regulatory requirements, acting as the point of contact between the foreign company and local authorities. This entails:
-
Submit appropriate documentation on the product's formula, origin, and safety testing.
-
Ensure that labeling and packaging comply with local regulations.
