SGS, a notified body for ECAS and EQM programs under the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT), plays a key role in supporting regulatory implementation for renewable energy products across the Emirates.
In line with UAE Cabinet Decision No. (10) of 2020, MoIAT has introduced the UAE System for the Control of Renewable Energy Products, aimed at ensuring the safety, quality, and performance of critical solar and energy storage components.
This regulation applies to:
- Photovoltaic (PV) Modules
- Inverters
- Interface Protection Systems
- Cells and Batteries
As the UAE accelerates its clean energy transition, compliance with these technical requirements is essential for public safety, system reliability, and environmental impact reduction. SGS supports this initiative by offering conformity assessments, product testing, and certification services, helping manufacturers and importers meet national specifications with confidence.
By certifying products under the ECAS and EQM schemes, SGS ensures renewable energy technologies are market-ready and meet MoIAT’s regulatory benchmarks. These certifications are crucial for import clearance.
With decades of global expertise in energy and safety, SGS continues to support the UAE’s national strategy for sustainability, innovation, and industrial excellence.
