Abu Dhabi Emirate requires a solid Quality Infrastructure to achieve its objectives and integrate with global markets

Role of Quality Infrastructure in Developed Economies

Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030 is shaping a diversified and globally integrated economy . . .

“Abu Dhabi as a sustainable, diversified, high-value-added economy that encourages enterprises and entrepreneurship and is well integrated in the global economy leading to better opportunities for all”

• Recognition of

Abu Dhabi as a quality producer and elevation of “Made in Abu Dhabi” status Produce World Class Exports

. . . Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council has been enacted1 to develop the Emirate’s Quality Infrastructure and enable stronger participation in global markets... ...Quality Infrastructure helps protect the people and businesses

• f Abu Dhabi from the challenges
• f globalization
• Low quality

imports fail to meet safety standards and pose risk to consumers Eliminate Low Quality Imports

• Counterfeit

products are difficult to identify without testing and can contain toxic materials Identify Counterfeit Products

Accreditation Metrology Certification & Testing Market Surveillance Standardization EXAMPLES

• Quality Infrastructure is the system of technical

capabilities used in developed countries to raise the quality of goods imported, traded and exported

• Quality Infrastructure is used to protect markets,

businesses and consumers and enables countries to integrate into the global trade system

Test items ISO 17025 Traceability, Calibration

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

Note: Quality Infrastructure mechanisms are also applicable to assure the quality of personnel and systems

Customs

• Check for

certificates of conformity for goods

Marketplace Market Surveillance Testing Metrology

Accreditation

Standards and Conformity Schemes

• Globally

produced products requiring certification to standards

• Collect

samples for laboratory testing

• Observation of

service delivery

• Conformity

schemes describe the standards and testing approaches required to assure quality
