The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture for Regulatory Affairs and General Supervisor of the Executive Body of the Water Regulator Dr. Fahd bin Saad Abu Moati said that obtaining the ISO 9001 certificate will ensure that best practices and administrative standards followed locally and internationally, are implemented by the Water Regulator, with the aim to raise business efficiency and output quality.
He pointed out that the certificate’s quality management system is based on ensuring that the beneficiary’s needs are met effectively, monitoring the level of quality and managing operations, and developing the business mechanism continuously.
The comments came during the handover ceremony of the ISO 9001 certification, which the Water Regulator received after it fulfilled all the necessary requirements, in line with local and international standards in quality management.
The Water Regulator obtained this certificate after an external audit conducted by one of the accredited bodies ensured that all departments of the Water Regulator comply with the procedures followed in the quality management system.
The Water Regulator is an official government body tasked to regulate service providers of the water sector, based on the provisions of the water law, except for cogeneration services.
