Essential Checklist for Industrial Compliance

The Essential Checklist for Industrial Compliance: Licenses and Approvals

Launching an industrial project in Egypt requires more than just a factory space; it requires a complex series of licenses and environmental clearances. At Audita, we specialize in bridging the gap between industrial vision and legal operation.

This guide outlines the critical regulatory steps every manufacturer must complete to ensure their facility is fully compliant with Egyptian law.

1. Industrial Development Authority (IDA) Licensing

The Industrial Development Authority is the primary body governing manufacturing in Egypt. Obtaining your operating license is the most vital step for any factory.

Our IDA Services include:

• Securing initial approvals for factory establishment.
• Obtaining and renewing permanent operating licenses.
• Registering with the Federation of Egyptian Industries (اتحاد الصناعات).

2. Environmental & Safety Approvals

Modern industrial compliance heavily focuses on sustainability and safety. Without Environmental Affairs Agency approval, a factory cannot legally operate.

3. Specialized Sector Licenses

Depending on your product, you may need additional specialized approvals. Audita handles the paperwork for high-regulation sectors.

We assist with:

• Pharmaceuticals & Pesticides: Manufacturing and trade licenses from the Ministry of Agriculture and Health.
• Animal Production: Specialized permits for livestock and agricultural projects.
• Construction: Registration with the Egyptian Federation for Construction & Building Contractors.

4. Import/Export for Industry

Most industrial projects rely on importing raw materials or exporting finished goods. We manage your Import/Export Cards and ensure you are registered in the customs database to prevent shipping delays.
