Qualified Quality Control Professionals
Our commitment to quality is at the heart of all Gerab operations. Gerab was the first UAE based company in the piping supply industry to acquire the ISO certification, the ISO 9002:1994 QMS Quality Management Certification in the 1997, the prestigious ISO 9001:2000 version in 2001, ISO 9001:2008 in 2010 and revised ISO 9001:2015 in 2015 – making Gerab the quality benchmark for other vendors to follow.
Reporting directly to the Deputy CEO, the Quality Control and Assurance Division is a pillar in Gerab’s total quality approach. Its technically qualified and experienced engineers include “NDE Level II” certified engineers and welding specialists who carry out quality control and technical support activities, oversee all quality-related processes, ensure regular updates of the ISO L3 procedures, and compliance with client specifications and documentation requirements.
