UAE: Emerson has received ISO/IEC accreditation for its psychrometric lab in Dubai, which will support its performance testing of air conditioners. 

The accreditation, awarded by the GCC Accreditation Centre, will provide customers with a platform to test performance of their air conditioners with expected capacities ranging from 1.5 to 20TR air conditioners, and heat pumps with capacities ranging from 1.5 to 13TR.

The ISO certification signifies that the Emerson test lab meets both technical competence and management system requirements to consistently deliver technically valid test results for the defined scope.

Our customers can now conduct comprehensive tests and analysis on their cooling systems and receive test reports directly from the ISO-accredited Emerson test lab.”
