Japan’s Daikin Industries, an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) market leader, has received the Emirates Quality Mark (EQM) for its air-conditioning products.

The Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (Esma) awarded Daikin Middle East, the EQM for complying with the safety and energy efficiency requirements of the UAE.

This followed a series of tests and inspections that took place at the Daikin factory in Malaysia, which manufactures air-conditioning systems distributed in the UAE and across the region, said the company in a statement.  

Abdulla Al Maeeni, the acting director-general of Esma, said, the factory inspection showed Daikin is manufacturing products that comply with the safety and energy efficiency requirements in the UAE which are considered difficult to meet due to the high ambient temperature and high humidity compared with other countries.

“The approval granted to Daikin is an approval that provides confidence to the products by the end user,” he noted.

Daikin Industries, a leading innovator and provider of advanced air conditioning solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications, said all its products will now bear the EQM stamp in the UAE.

“We are honoured to receive the Emirates Quality Mark and we will continue to pioneer new technologies and highest quality products offered to the market,” said Michel Farah, senior manager, product management, Daikin Middle East.

Daikin Middle East sells and provides aftermarket support for a full range of air-conditioning equipment and systems in the region.-TradeArabia News Service
