Abu Dhabi QCC inks cooperation deals with ADDC

ABU DHABI / WAM

Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council (QCC), the entity responsible for developing quality infrastructure in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, has signed two cooperation agreements with Abu Dh-
abi Distribution Company (ADDC) to issue conformity certificates for Low Voltage Switchgear (LVSG) products as well as for the services offered by personnel performing wiring installation work.
Under the first agreement, the two sides will collaborate to ensure that electrical wiring installation works performed in the emirate comply with the requirements of conformity schemes issued by QCC to meet the relevant regulations. The second agreement aims to improve the quality of service provided by personnel carrying out the installation work with regard to efficiency and grid safety.
The agreements were signed by Dr Helal Humaid Al Kaabi, Acting Secretary-General of QCC, and Saeed Al Suwaidi, Managing Director of ADDC, in the presence of several key officials from the two entities.
Dr Al Kaabi said, “We have signed these agreements with ADDC as part of our priority to galvanise our efforts and optimise the use of resources in achieving our shared objectives. We are confident that our combined efforts will result in extending best-in-class services to our customers in line with the government’s strategy to create an enabling environment to achieve the aspirations of the community.”
Al Suwaidi said, “This agreement articulates our continued efforts to provide superior water and electricity services to our customers in line with the directives of wise leadership to keep up with the economic, urban and population growth in the emirate. I am confident that the issuance of conformity services for companies and personnel specialised in the installation of internal wiring devices will help regulate and develop the water and electricity sector in the emirate. It will also allow us to prevent risks to life, property and economy associated with using low-quality and non-compliant wiring products.”
