United Arab EmiratesESMAProduct Compliance Assessment, including:

UAE Evaluation Plan—ECAS (EMIRATES ConFORMITY ASSESSMENT SCHEME)

United Arab Emirates Quality Mark—EQM (EMIRATES QUALITY MARK)

United Arab EmiratesECASRegulations pertaining to the safety, energy efficiency, and environmental protection requirements of electronic and electrical products and specific items. The monitored scope includes:

Energy Efficiency Label(EESL)         

Regulations for the Use of Hazardous Materials (RoHS)         

Electrical and electronic equipment for potentially explosive environments(ECASEx)      Lighting Products

Low-pressure equipment(LVE)         

Generally, standard electrical products only require safety testing, but air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and lighting fixtures are also subject to...EESLRegulation requires energy efficiency testing, with lighting being particularly special in requiring compliance.4Item test requirements (safety, energy efficiency, functionality, and harmful substance testing).
