Abu Dhabi’s Forensic Science Centre Secures Prestigious International Accreditation

The Centre for Forensic and Electronic Sciences of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department has been awarded international accreditation from the National Organisation of Forensic Physicians (NAME) for its Forensic Medicine Department.

This achievement makes the Centre the first in the Middle East and only the third globally, outside the United States, following Canada and Singapore, to receive this prestigious certification.

Counsellor Yousef Saeed Al Abri, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, highlighted that this international accreditation represents a significant milestone for the Judicial Department.

Counsellor Al Abri noted that this remarkable achievement underscores the Centre’s leadership and excellence in providing forensic services according to the highest international standards.

It also demonstrates the Centre's commitment to staying abreast of the latest advancements in forensic examinations, thereby advancing criminal justice.

Furthermore, he stated that the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department's technical reports are now given precedence on the global stage.

He explained that the international accreditation adds to the Centre’s existing certifications in criminal and electronic evidence examinations and renews the chemical laboratory’s accreditation for a second term.

This renewal, initially granted in 2019, covers the examination of narcotics, toxins and seized items.
Counsellor Al Abri emphasised the Centre's dedication to implementing technical protocols in line with international standards and incorporating additional guidelines from NAME.

This commitment was evident in the Centre’s evaluation, which confirmed its adherence to all requirements necessary for obtaining international accreditation.
