TASNEEF-RINA Business Assurance

What TASNEEF-RINA Business Assurance does

TASNEEF-RINA Business Assurance LLC (TRBA) is an Abu Dhabi-headquartered, third-party certification, audit, and verification body operating as a joint venture between TASNEEF (Emirates Classification Society, 75%) and RINA Services S.p.A. of Italy (25%). Established in 2016 with approximately 68 employees, TRBA operates across multiple service sectors — Quality/Health/Safety, Environmental Management, Energy and Product Certification, Business Governance and Continuity, Social Responsibility, IT and Information Security, Industry Qualification, and Vendors/Pre-shipment Services — and multiple market sectors including Oil & Gas and Renewable Energies, Infrastructures and Transport, Railway, Food and Agriculture, and Manufacturing.

The company's core technology is a set of documented audit methodologies and on-site inspection processes rather than a software platform. TRBA delivers certifications against a broad spectrum of international standards (ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 50001, 22301, 22000, 20000, 20121, 37001, 28000, 26000, SA 8000, FSC/PEFC CoC, PAS 2050, ISO/TS 14067, UNI 10891, EN 15593, HACCP/GMP), as well as UAE-specific schemes (Halal, Organic Food under Emirates Organic Foods Certification Scheme, JAWDA Data Certification). The JAWDA Data Certification methodology — covering Claims Review, Clinical Coding Process Review, KPI validation, and Mystery Patient assessments — is a proprietary framework co-developed with the Abu Dhabi Department of Health and is codified in the JDC Methodology 2019. Operational delivery runs through the tasneefba.org eServices portal (New Certification, Renewal, JDC Certification Request forms) and a published Audit Planner, supported by a public Certificates List, FAQ, and methodology repository.

TRBA generates revenue through professional services fees for initial certifications, renewals, follow-up audits, re-audits, and new facility listings. Pricing is quote-based for general ISO certifications, while JAWDA Data Certification uses unified contracts with fixed tariffs tied to facility tier classifications set by DoH, plus a nominal fee for new facility listing (6-month validity with extension option) and additional invoicing for follow-up audits. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: organizations initiate service requests through the company website, with the Department of Health acting as a regulatory referral channel that mandates JAWDA Data Certification exclusively through TRBA for Abu Dhabi healthcare providers. Customer segmentation is horizontal across the verticals listed above, with the healthcare segment constituting a captive, government-mandated recurring revenue stream since 1 January 2017.
