According to the agreement, ADQCC's Market and Consumer Services Sector will carry out inspections in coordination with the ADGM Registration Authority. These inspections will cover a wide range of restricted products, including household electrical appliances, toys, household chemical cleaners, tobacco and cigarette products, vehicle tires, and food contact materials.

In addition, ADQCC will conduct metrological verification (measurement) of pre-packaged products and legal measuring instruments. This includes the inspection of commercial selling scales, jewelry scales, oud and Arabic perfume measurements, and petroleum derivatives meters at service stations. These operations will be carried out within the commercial and industrial facilities of the Abu Dhabi Global Jurisdiction Area, which operates under its own set of laws and regulations.

The collaboration between ADQCC and ADGM Registration Authority is expected to foster a safer and more equitable market environment in Abu Dhabi, enhancing consumer protection and contributing to the emirate's economic growth.
