From March 16, 2023 - June 16, 2023 Initial Approval Certificate Service
Subject:
The Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) provides various
services to businesses through its online and smart channels.
One of these services is the Initial Approval Certificate, which
MoIAT provides as a declaration of no-objection (DNO) to industrial businesses when
they want to construct factories or obtain licenses to connect to the power grid,
import machinery and equipment, and pilot production.
To issue an Initial Approval Certificate, companies must have an
industrial license or a registered trade name from a local authority, because
it is a service linked to other agencies, including the Ministry of Human
Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), the Federal Authority For Identity,
Citizenship, Customs and Port Security, Departments of Economic Development (DEDs),
and local customs departments.
Companies must meet certain criteria to obtain the certificate. For
instance, the owners must first submit
identification documents (i.e. Emirates ID, passport). The total number
of employees in the establishment must not be fewer than 10, and the factory's total
capital must be at least AED 250,000. Businesses must also comply with all UAE laws
and regulations, including those related to industrial security, public health
and environmental preservation.
Objective:
This note aims to demonstrate our commitment to enhancing
stakeholders' awareness about this service as a tool that empowers and stimulates
industrial growth in the UAE.
Result:
We seek to inform factory owners that they can import machinery and
equipment, obtain licenses to connect to the power grid, and pilot production
once they have obtained an Initial Approval Certificate from MoIAT, pending the
completion of relevant procedures.
