Strengthen the safety, security and operational control of commercial uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) operations with ISO 21384 requirements.
ISO 21384 is a family of standards addressing uncrewed aircraft systems, including operational procedures for safe commercial UAS operations.
ISO 21384 provides an international framework for uncrewed aircraft systems. ISO 21384-3:2026 specifies requirements for safe commercial operations of uncrewed aircraft systems, including the external safety-critical service providing the command and control (C2) link.
The standard applies to commercial UAS regardless of size, application or location and provides a structured approach to operational safety, security, data protection, operator responsibilities, airspace considerations and flight operations.
System Certification Services (SCS) provides ISO 21384 certification support in Dubai and across the UAE for organizations seeking to demonstrate structured and controlled UAS operational practices.
ISO 21384 can be considered alongside related UAS, risk, safety, information security and management system requirements where these are relevant to the organization's operations and regulatory environment.

ISO 21384 is a series of standards covering uncrewed aircraft systems. ISO 21384-3:2026 specifies requirements for safe commercial UAS operations, including the external safety-critical service providing the command and control (C2) link.
Commercial UAS operators and organizations involved in drone services, inspection, surveying, mapping, logistics, agriculture, media, infrastructure and other commercial UAS applications can benefit from structured ISO 21384 operational practices.
Yes. ISO 21384-3:2026 applies to commercial uncrewed aircraft system operations regardless of size, application or location.
ISO 21384-3 addresses areas including safety and security, data protection, operator responsibilities, airspace considerations and operational procedures for commercial UAS activities.
Yes. ISO 21384-3 is intended to work with other current and future standards concerning uncrewed aircraft systems, while organizations should also consider applicable UAE aviation and operational requirements.

System Certification Services (SCS) provides ISO 21384 certification support in Dubai, UAE for organizations involved in commercial uncrewed aircraft system operations. ISO 21384-3:2026 specifies requirements for safe commercial UAS operations and includes the external safety-critical service providing the command and control (C2) link.
ISO 21384-3 applies to commercial UAS regardless of size, application or location. Its operational framework addresses areas such as safety and security, data protection, operator responsibilities, airspace considerations, operational planning, flight preparation and in-flight operations.
Organizations in Dubai and across the UAE using drones for inspection, surveying, mapping, logistics, agriculture, media, construction, infrastructure and other commercial applications can use ISO 21384 as part of a structured approach to UAS operational safety and control.
ISO 21384 certification in Dubai can also be considered alongside related standards covering UAS components, UAS personnel training, risk management and occupational health and safety, depending on the organization's activities and applicable requirements.
