Compliances in Automobile Industry in the UAE

The automobile (automotive) industry in the UAE includes manufacturers, importers/distributors, service centres, dealerships, repair & maintenance shops, parts suppliers, and related aftermarket services. For all these players, automotive compliance and automobile compliance are essential to maintain legal standing, ensure safety, protect customers, and conform to international standards. Regulatory compliance in the automotive industry covers everything from safety, emissions, quality management, service centre certifications, dealership licensing, parts certification, and environmental regulations. Non-compliance can mean license revocation, heavy fines, reputational damage, or restrictions on operations.

Automotive Regulations & Standards in UAE

Automotive Service Centres Regulation (MoIAT, UAE)
Under UAE Cabinet Decision No. 61 of 2019, all automotive service centres must obtain a conformity certificate covering health & safety, technical competence, service quality, equipment standards, and operational excellence. SGS is a notified body for certification.
GCC / ESMA Safety & Emission Standards for Imported Vehicles
All imported vehicles must comply with GCC safety standards and UAE emission rules (Euro 6B equivalent for newer models). Upcoming regulations further tighten permissible emission levels.
Vehicle Testing, Spare Part Certification, Homologation & Component Safety
TÜV SÜD and similar bodies offer vehicle safety testing, homologation, emissions testing, and component-level safety validation. Spare parts must meet ESMA / MoIAT or local authority product safety requirements.
Dealership Licensing & Transaction Documentation Regulations
Dealerships must comply with RTA (Dubai) and other Emirate authorities, ensuring correct sales documents, ownership transfer procedures, record archiving, compliant advertising, and transparent pricing. Recent RTA inspections highlight strict adherence.
