How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article addresses a relevant issue in contemporary trade and regulatory practice—the specific features of exporting food products to the United Arab Emirates under increasingly stringent requirements for safety, quality, and Halal certification. The study presents the results of a theoretical and practical analysis of the UAE regulatory framework, including mandatory conformity assessment schemes (ECAS), the Halal certification system, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, as well as product labeling and inspection requirements. The purpose of the research is to examine and analyze the key aspects of food safety regulation and to identify factors influencing the successful placement of food products on the UAE market. The study employs methods of system analysis, comparative analysis of regulatory acts, and empirical examination of export control and inspection practices. The main findings highlight the importance of a comprehensive approach to compliance with UAE requirements, including certification, accurate labeling, proper documentation, and interaction with accredited conformity assessment bodies. The results allow conclusions to be drawn regarding the prospects for the development of export procedures and opportunities for their optimization. The practical significance of the study lies in the applicability of its findings for exporting companies, foreign trade specialists, and experts in the fields of standardization and certification.
