Qatar .... to recognise building standards.

Qatar to boost awareness on construction standards

DOHA, June 27, 2015

Qatar General Organisation for Standardization (QS) has signed an agreement with ASTM International, a leading US-based standards development organisation, to boost standards and enhance awareness of international standards in the building and construction sector.

Under the latest agreement, Qatar Construction Standards (QCS 2014) will be linked to ASTM’s interactive database by establishing an online version, including direct links to the full text of ASTM Standards referenced in QCS 2014.

This is to help speed up users’ access to all referenced ASTM Standards and make QCS accessible to building and construction experts, scientists and professionals worldwide, in a first step toward globalisation of QCS.

The Qatari organisation has developed a proposal to establish a high-level technical consultancy committee for the development of QCS 2018 Global in co-operation with ASTM International.

QCS 2018 will undergo an international review with the purpose  of recognising Qatar Construction Standards as an international reference for dry and humid areas worldwide, it stated.

As such, QCS will be the first Arab and national standards to be set together with ASTM.-TradeArabia News Service
