Officials at the signing.

Firms sign building system testing lab accord in Bahrain

MANAMA, May 22, 2015

Bahrain-based United Enterprises Group and Facade Design and Services, in collaboration with Istishara Consultants, have signed an agreement to provide and operate Bahrain's first and only building system testing laboratory and on-site testing facility centre for building materials - UFDS.

As the operator, Facade Design and Services has approached the appropriate accreditation service provider, which is the International Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation, with its application for accreditation under ISO/IEC 17025:2010, said a report in the Gulf Daily News (GDN), our sister publication.

A company representative said being the first of its kind in Bahrain, UFDS will vastly contribute to the future and growth of construction industry in the kingdom.

Today, all building system laboratory testing are performed overseas.

UFDS will break these testing hurdles by making this facility available in the kingdom, covering the range from single villas to Housing Ministry projects and high-rise projects.

These tests will be conducted by installing system samples on construction sites to provide a full quality check or to provide performance level of the existing faade.

UFDS will be fully operational from August. - TradeArabia News Service
