The MoU outlines plans to launch joint awareness initiatives across key industries, including food
and beverages, cosmetics, and other consumer products. These programmes aim to ensure
product quality and support domestic trade growth across all seven emirates.
Educational workshops will also be held at universities and schools to promote a culture of product
safety awareness and healthier consumer habits.

Product testing and complaint verification

At the Ministry’s request, SGS will manage the verification and inspection of consumer complaints
under its remit. This will involve random sampling and lab testing of products such as baby food,
cosmetics, and spare parts to ensure they meet international safety standards. Testing will be
carried out using SGS's advanced laboratories and technology.

Boosting UAE exports and global competitiveness

The agreement will also support UAE-made products in accessing international markets by
simplifying export procedures and helping companies meet global certification requirements.
This collaboration is expected to significantly benefit small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
by enhancing their global expansion efforts and improving the overall competitiveness of the
national economy.
