17 Why HACCP/FSMS as a tool for product certification?

18 Aims of the Program UAE Quality Mark Checking the conformity of the Product with the approved standards (such as CODEX Standards, UAE/GSO standards etc) Verifying if the manufacturer has an effective HACCP/Food Safety Management System. The availability of an efficient system for quality assurance and quality control.

19 UAE Quality Mark Advantage of the System Empowering competitiveness for national products in both local and external markets. Adding the mark, for products worthy of it, on exclusive documents of the company. Increasing consumer's confidence in the product. Increasing the sales of the company, based on the confidence resulting from the Mark system

20 Emirates Quality Mark Holders

21 Conclusion The role of HACCP/FSMS in product certification is essential in 1. Complying with the requirements of ISO Guides 2. Meeting the requirement of SPS Agreement, 3. Satisfying the requirement of TBT Agreement 4. Ensuring consistency in the production of safe / good quality / reliable food products.
