HSE

Global safety science company UL has joined Eurovent Middle East as an associate member to work towards higher safety standards for HVACR equipment and installations

The membership with Eurovent Middle East, the HVACR (heating, ventilation air conditioning and refrigeration) industry association in the region, will enable UL to join forces with its peers and customers to increase the use of enhanced technological solutions in the Middle East.

UL will also form a joint working group with Eurovent Middle East to develop initiatives to improve indoor air quality.

Hamid Syed, vice-president and general manager of UL Middle East, said, “We will create a joint working group with Eurovent as both sides detected the need to be more active in the field of indoor air quality in order to improve safety and life quality for the people in the region.”

“This is very much in line with UL’s mission to foster safe living and working conditions for people around the world through the application of science to solve safety, security and sustainability challenges,” he added.

Markus Lattner, managing director of Eurovent Middle East, commented, “Our main focus at Eurovent is looking at wider issues, like how to improve energy efficiency in this region or improve indoor air quality through broader initiatives. Therefore, we see a lot of areas for a successful collaboration with UL.”

“We believe that our cooperation can help to develop specific strategies to initiate actions by authorities, property developers and by the people themselves. We hope to be involved in more collaborations to create awareness in the market for safety, latest technologies and even regulatory aspects,” he concluded.
