How Cotecna can support GCC Compliance Through Precision Gas Testing
In today’s high-stakes industries oil & gas, petrochemicals, power plants, and manufacturing industrial gases and hydrocarbons are essential to operations. But with their critical role comes a responsibility: ensuring safety, quality, and compliance through precise testing and regulatory certification.
Gas Products & VoC Programs in the Middle East
Many Middle Eastern countries have implemented Verification of Conformity (VoC) programs that regulate gas-related products, including industrial gases, gas appliances, and safety equipment. These programs require products to be tested, inspected, and certified before they can enter the market.
