A New Milestone in Egyptian Quality & Industry
A New Milestone in Egyptian Quality & Industry
We are proud to announce that the Proficiency Testing Unit (PTU) at the Egyptian Organization for Standardization and Quality has successfully renewed and extended its accreditation to new scopes! We operate as an internationally accredited unit by "EGAC" in accordance with the international standard ISO/IEC 17043:2023.
Growth by the Numbers. Evolving to Meet Industry Needs: Starting with a limited scope of only 1 parameter in 2021, our ambitious expansion plan took us to 24 parameters in 2024, and today, in 2026, we proudly reach 123 accredited parameters across most high-priority industrial sectors.
Our Accredited Sectors Now Include:
• Electrical Cables.
• Lamps and Luminaires.
• Environmental Testing.
• Ceramics, Cement, and Fertilizers.
• Surveillance Cameras.
• Textiles.
• Calibration.
Why is this Accreditation Crucial for Our Industry?
• Boosting Exports: Through ILAC membership, our accredited schemes grant Egyptian products international recognition, saving time and hard currency by eliminating the need for costly external re-testing.
• Entering European Markets: We help Egyptian companies comply with (LVD) and (EMC) standards to smoothly meet the requirements of the European (CE Mark).
• Protecting Local Consumers: By verifying the competence of laboratories supporting the "Egyptian Quality Mark," we ensure that the Egyptian citizen receives safe and standard-compliant products.
Regional Leadership: Our success is not just local; it is regional. Today, the unit is proud to have sister countries participating in its schemes, such as Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Algeria, and Pakistan. This cooperation solidifies Egypt's role as a regional leader and technical reference in quality infrastructure.
The PTU is not just an administrative unit; we are the "balance" that ensures the competence and accuracy of testing laboratories. We are your partner in every factory and every export shipment, ensuring that Egyptian products conquer global markets bearing the highest seals of quality and precision.
