EGA achieves top accreditation for laboratories

UAE, March 1, 2016

UAE-based aluminium major Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) has announced receiving the accreditation of its laboratories to ‘ISO/IEC 17025:2005’ in the field of metallurgical testing.

ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is a quality system that is recognised internationally, and contributes directly to quality control of EGA’s products. It enhances the reliability of testing and measurement systems, processes and results as it requires adherence to demanding technical requirements.

The certificates were presented last month to Abdulla Kalban, managing director and CEO of EGA, by Amina Ahmed Mohammed, director of Dubai Accreditation Centre (DAC), in the presence of EGA senior management and core implementation team members.

Kalban said: “Currently, the standardisation of best practices is one of the key elements that brings measurable value to EGA’s operations. It reflects our company as a strong brand by delivering consistency in quality of the products manufactured at both our operational sites, in Jebel Ali and Al Taweelah respectively.”

“This accreditation is an important milestone for the company’s metallurgical testing activities, as it attests to our competency levels,” it added.

DAC’s Mohammed further noted that EGA demonstrated effective teamwork in achieving this stringent and renowned accreditation.

The accreditation enhances the confidence of EGA’s customers as it is one of the specifications indicated in automotive standard ISO/TS 16949 and further strengthens EGA’s quality management systems.

Currently EGA’s Laboratories are in the process of evaluating the optical emission analysis test for the final product. Future plans include extending the scope of accreditation to include other fields of testing such as raw materials, process materials, water, and oil, it added. – TradeArabia News Service
