Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre (Tadweer) has adopted electronic approvals for No Objection Certificates (NOC) in Abu Dhabi for all requests that require technical reviewing by specialists in charge of issuing approvals related to infrastructure construction, building, and development projects. According to the Centre, this allows clients, including consultants, contractors, or developers, to acquire an NOC from the Centre electronically without the need to visit or submit any paperwork, which will improve efficiency, reduce costs and efforts, and simplify operations and procedures related to NOCs for clients in all sectors.

The system is the first of a comprehensive series of basic and complimentary services covering main and supporting operations related to municipal approvals, which are required for facilities and infrastructure construction and development projects in Abu Dhabi.

The use of the NOC’s electronic approval system for facilities and infrastructure came after the Centre conducted a study to evaluate the current NOC services and their elements in relation to facilities and infrastructure services, defining the requirements for these services during the various stages of any given project, and adding them into the system.

The Centre ensured the services’ compliance with the Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council’s (ADQCC) regulations regarding the infrastructure requirements for municipal solid waste collection and transportation services for specific categories of waste producers, which will be applied by consultants, contractors, and developers as required by the Centre when submitting paperwork.

“In line with the strategies and directives of our wise leadership regarding the digital transformation of services, we linked the procedures for NOCs at the Centre with the unified system at the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT). This comes in line with the emirate’s policy of facilitating business and reducing the time needed for receiving services to achieve the requirements of a competitive and pioneering business environment in Abu Dhabi, as well as develop a safe digital environment that protects data and information systems,” said H.E. Dr. Salem Al Kaabi, Director General of Tadweer.
