Emirates Steel receives Saudi quality mark

Abu Dhabi, June 11, 2012

Emirates Steel, the largest integrated steel maker in the UAE, has received the Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (Saso) quality mark certification for its rebar, after passing the standards tests conducted by Saso.

"We are proud to receive the quality mark certification from Saso, Which is one of the regional entities of excellence in all areas of standardization and quality,” said Suhail Mubarak Musallam Athaeeth Al Ameri, chairman of Emirates Steel.

“This certification recognizes the outstanding quality standards that we adopt and reflect in our products,” he added.

Saeed Ghumran Al Romaithi, acting chief executive officer of Emirates Steel, said: “The Saudi quality mark is a clear recognition of our product quality and safety, it will further reinforce the confidence our customers in the Kingdom have in us and in our products and it will help us in securing new customers.”

The award of the Saudi certification to Emirates Steel’s products included an assessment of the quality systems and a technical assessment of the company’s plants and the procedures and systems used in controlling production and internal quality control, as well as the testing of product samples in specialized laboratories.

Tariq Al Afifi, vice president - Standards and Audit, pointed out that Emirates Steel underwent the conformity assessment process by Saso, the only body authorized by the Kingdom’s Government to award this certification.

The Saso audit involved the inspection of the Company’s industrial complex, in addition to product sampling and testing. A similar audit will be undertaken annually to ensure continued conformity.

Al Afifi said: “This certificate will enhance the prestige of Emirates Steel in both regional and global markets and will assist in ensuring our continued commitment to the latest standards and requirements for quality systems in the steel manufacturing process.” – TradeArabia News Service
