China export standards for United Arab Emirates (ESMA / GSO)

The United Arab Emirates applies conformity requirements administered by the Emirates Authority for Standardisation and Metrology (ESMA) for a range of regulated products. The UAE also participates in Gulf Cooperation Council (GSO) harmonised standards, meaning GSO technical regulations frequently apply alongside or instead of purely domestic UAE requirements. The Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme (ECAS) and the National Conformity Mark (E-Mark) are the primary certification pathways for regulated electrical and consumer products. Exporters from China should verify whether a product falls under a mandatory UAE or GSO scheme and engage an ESMA-registered conformity assessment body. The comparison pages below cover the energy and mobility product categories currently supported for the UAE market.
