Malaysia’s SIRIM QAS International, a premier certification and testing body, has opened its branch office in Bahrain. SIRIM QAS International is going to offer various services: IECEx certification of personnel competence for explosive atmospheres, product certification, management system certification services and more.
During the ceremony, SIRIM Chairman, Tan Sri Dr. Ir. Ahmad Tajuddin Ali said that SIRIM QAS has intentions to be a part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Notified Body to make it easier for Malaysian manufacturers and other neighbouring countries to penetrate the GCC market. “We chose to set up our regional headquarters in Bahrain because of the country’s strategic location, attractive liberal business environment and its reputation as a modern industrial, business and service centre in the region. Bahrain’s strong growth prospects and natural gateway into the GCC market make it an ideal destination for any international company interested in expanding to the fast growing Middle East region,” he added.
