Abu Dhabi Emirate requires a solid Quality Infrastructure to achieve its objectives and integrate with global markets
Role of Quality Infrastructure in Developed EconomiesAbu 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 of Abu Dhabi from the challenges of 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
