With a mission to develop a Quality Infrastructure to support the assurance of imported and exported products Function of Quality Infrastructure in Assurance of Products ILLUSTRATIVE Quality Infrastructure Accreditation Standards Market and Marketplace Testing Customs Surveillance Conformity Schemes  Collect  Conformity  Check for samples for schemes certificates of laboratory describe the conformity for testing standards and goods  Globally testing  Observation of Metrology produced approaches service delivery products required to requiring assure quality certification to standards Note: Quality Infrastructure mechanisms are also applicable to assure the quality of personnel and systems 6

To enable the mission, QCC operates across six key areas of activity related to the provision of Quality Infrastructure, including testing. Quality Conformity Council’s Core Activities and Outcomes I II III IV V VI Metrology Conformity Schemes Legal Metrology / Standards Testing Infrastructure Consumer Safety Infrastructure and Certification Market Surveillance  Standards  Measurement  Testing infrastructure  Product conformity  Dangerous product  Trading balance development and infrastructure enabling regulation and certification control in the verification and harmonization, development to of: programs for Emirate in inspection in high working in support industry in −Food & Water industry and coordination with value markets partnership with line with Economic −Pharmaceuticals regulators federal entities  Pre-packaged goods ESMA to integrate Vision 2030 and −Construction  Personnel and  Consumer product inspection federally and current needs −Medical Devices systems certification recalls in Abu Dhabi  Product safety internationally −Electrical for industry and  Counterfeit control inspections − Food Contact and regulators e.g. electrical − Packaging  Regulation products − Environmental enforcement − Natural Products − Toys − Textiles − Precious Metals 7
