Panasonic has received the Emirates Quality Mark for its wiring devices, demonstrating the company’s commitment to product excellence and customer safety, the company said.

Panasonic Homes & Living offers a broad spectrum of switches and sockets, LED lightings, switchgears, solar panels, energy recovery ventilators (ERV), air moving equipment (AME), ventilation fans, and ceiling fans and electric fans.

Ranked Number Two globally for wiring devices, Panasonic has been strongly catering to the changing demands of the Middle East's construction sector. “The brand actions to deliver the best value-for-money options with unmatched quality and these products are a reflection of the company’s commitment to offer innovative and sustainable solutions that boast comfort, safety and durability,” it said.

Implemented by the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA), Emirates Quality Mark certification includes a rigorous process that ensures imported and locally-produced products meet strict UAE, GCC, and international standards.

The process includes a thorough check of product quality and conformity to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. ESMA certification enables companies to use the Emirates Mark of Conformity on their certified products.

Esma’s director of conformity affairs department, Essa Abdul Rahman Al Hashmi, awarded the certification to Tatsuya Kumazawa, sales director, Panasonic Eco Solutions Middle East & Africa (PESMAF).  

Kumazawa said: “As a Japanese brand which is nearly 100 years old, Panasonic prides itself in providing products that conform to the highest quality standards. Our high quality standards and credibility enables us to cater globally complying with strict safety regulations.

“The ESMA certification will provide much-needed assurance and ‘peace-of-mind’ for our customers in the region,” he added.

Panasonic’s wiring devices are distributed by Advance Establishment for Lighting & Electricals in the UAE. Founded in 1998 as an EHY group subsidiary (a Kuwaiti group), Advance Establishment’s countrywide distribution network offers a complete range of Panasonic wiring devices, including BS and A&C type switches and sockets. – TradeArabia News Service
