Why the UAE asks for a legalised certificate of analysis
A certificate of analysis (COA) reports the test results for a batch of product against its specification. Regulators and buyers abroad use it to check quality for registration samples, tenders and each consignment. The certificate of analysis is issued by the manufacturer's quality control department or an accredited testing laboratory for a specific batch.
Health ministries in the Middle East register a large number of Indian generic medicines each year, and their registration files almost always include legalised regulatory certificates from India.
Authorities, banks and business partners in the UAE usually ask for a legalised certificate of analysis for registration samples for regulators, batch release for each shipment or tender quality compliance.
A certificate of analysis issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of the UAE in New Delhi.
After the UAE mission in India legalises the document, most UAE authorities also require attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) after arrival, which your UAE partner usually completes. Many import invoices are now attested electronically by MOFA on the importer's side, so confirm with your buyer before attesting invoices in India.
