Food contact materials (FCMs) like kitchenware and packaging materials must be safe for consumer use. The Emirates Authority of Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) regulates FCMs, requiring UAE registration before sale. ESMA certification ensures safety standards are met. Each product registration application permits one product category and must be completed within 6 months to avoid cancellation.
