The Emirates International Accreditation Centre (EIAC) is the United Arab Emirates’ national accreditation body, responsible for accrediting organizations involved in testing, calibration, certification, and inspection services. Established in 2005, EIAC operates under the Dubai Municipality and aims to ensure that conformity assessment bodies in the UAE meet international standards of competence and reliability. Its primary mission is to support the quality, safety, and efficiency of products and services across various industries through accreditation.

EIAC collaborates with national and international organizations to uphold high standards of accreditation. It is a full member of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF). Through these memberships, EIAC participates in mutual recognition arrangements that facilitate the global acceptance of test and calibration results, certifications, and inspection reports issued by accredited UAE bodies. These international partnerships help reduce technical barriers to trade and enhance the global competitiveness of Emirati products and services.

To maintain its leadership in accreditation, EIAC continuously updates its accreditation criteria and processes to align with international best practices. It provides essential services, including the accreditation of laboratories, certification bodies, and inspection agencies. By ensuring the quality and reliability of these services, EIAC supports regulatory compliance, consumer protection, and industrial innovation.
