QCC launches issuance of Certificate of Conformity for Individual Services through 16 designated testing centers
The launch is in line with the Abu Dhabi Program for Effortless Customer Experience Program 2022
His Excellency Dr. Helal Humaid Al Kaabi, Secretary General of the Council, said this move will help contribute to reducing the number of steps, documents and the time taken to obtain the certificate, leading to increased customer satisfaction.
He said that providing the service of issuing the Certificate of Conformity for Individual Services through designated testing centers has shortened the procedures the customers need to follow, and has created a single window access post fulfilling the requirements of the conformity program and passing the necessary tests.
His Excellency said the objectives of the Abu Dhabi Program for Effortless Customer Experience 2022 match the key objectives of the Council and its projects and programs of delegating individual services to a strategic partner. This helps make a quantum leap in providing conformity services, and in enhancing quality, reducing cost and time, as well strengthening partnerships with the private sector.
Sultan Al Muhairi, Director of the Business Development and Customer Happiness Department of the Council, said that there are 16 designated testing centers across locations to evaluate the individual services in Abu Dhabi, in verticals such as electricity, building and construction, school transportation, public health, waste management and others, where the Certificate of Conformity can be obtained. These centers are authorized to submit a request to issue the certificate from the Council in four short and easy steps, he said.
Al-Muhairi explained that the service procedures began with the customer choosing a designated testing center, which will verify if the customer meets the requirements of the conformity program, conducts the required tests, and collects the necessary fees to submit a service request to issue a Certificate of Conformity for Individual Services.
The Council had also organized a number of workshops for the testing center representatives wherein they were appraised of the steps required to apply for the service as well as the procedures to obtain the certificate, which can now be issued now in just four steps through a single window mechanism.
Sultan Al Muhairi said that the Council has issued 11,559 certificates of conformity for individual services during January to November 2022, including 1,888 in the electricity sector, 8,331 in the school transport sector, 778 in the waste and public health vertical, and 562 in protection services.

Showcases Central Testing Laboratory’s services in soil, fertilizer, water and plant testing
AgraME is the largest event that promotes sustainable and innovative agricultural practices to ensure food security in the Middle East. The expo contributes to addressing the challenges of reducing dependence on imports and cultivating products through sustainable farming techniques, and supports government initiatives in food security in the region.
His Excellency Eng. Abdullah Hassan Al Maaini, Executive Director of the Central Testing Laboratory Sector, said that the Council is represented at the exhibition through the Agriculture Laboratory. The Agriculture Laboratory is part of the Central Testing Laboratory sector and provides services that support food security and enhance biosecurity, thereby contributing to achieving agricultural sustainability in Abu Dhabi.
Al-Maaini said the Agriculture Laboratory at the exhibition presented its testing services, spanning analyzes of the quality of fertilizers, soil and water for farming in line with the approved specifications and standards of the country. The laboratory supports authorities in decision-making and development of agriculture with the help of advanced devices such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-OES), mechanical analyzers, pH and electrical conductivity meters.
Dr. Maryam Al Shamsi, Director of the Life Sciences Department in Al Ain, said the tests provided by the Agriculture Laboratory contribute to evaluating the quality of fertilizers according to local standards, and includes analysis of electrical conductivity, pH, moisture, protein ratio, carbon to nitrogen ratio, and substances such as organic NaCl ratio and heavy metal detection.
The lab’s soil analyzes help determine the type of agricultural soil, and evaluates elements such as cations, ions, pH, calcium carbonate, in addition to heavy metals in the soil. Micro-biological analyzes include the analysis of Pseudomonas bacteria, pathogenic nematodes and fungi.
She added that analyzes of water used for agricultural purposes include electrical conductivity tests, pH and total dissolved salts, detection of salmonella bacteria, in addition to tests on the compliance with water standards for irrigation and agriculture purposes, while plant analyzes include micro-biological analyzes, such as for Pseudomonas bacteria, pathogenic nematodes and fungi.
