CLASSIFICATION
Classification registration is a requirement for construction and engineering companies
intending to tender for government and semi-government projects in Abu Dhabi.
Classification is a quality control procedure to ensure companies are sufficiently qualified and experienced to tender for specific projects.
There are seven category levels for Classification registration. Companies should select the most appropriate category based upon the value of tenders they participate in.
Foreign Branches are restricted to registering at Special Category and First Category.
Companies are required to have registered engineers with specific qualifications and experience depending upon the activities on their trade license and Classification category level.
Abu Dhabi's Classification system is currently being overhauled. Requirements are continually being updated.
Engineer
Registration
Companies are required to have registered engineers with specific qualifications and experience depending upon the activities on their trade license and Classification category level.
The purpose of Engineer Registration is to regulate standards and to ensure only registered engineers with approved academic qualifications are assigned relevant work.
Engineers are required to have attested qualification and experience certificates.
It is necessary to apply for equivalency of foreign qualification certificates at the Ministry of Education.
It is possible for a temporary Engineer Card to be applied for initially. The temporary card will have a validity of six months. The engineer must supply an undertaking to complete the registration within six months.
