UAE-based steel producer Emirates Steel (ESI) has received the Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (SASO) quality mark certification for its rebar after successfully passing the standards test.

The quality mark certification required the assessment of the quality systems and a technical assessment of ESI'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.

Emirates Steel's finished goods are available for dispatch only after inspection, testing and classification based on international standards. The company has an annual finished product capacity of 3 million tonnes.
