Campaign to ensure accuracy of fuel meters in Abu Dhabi

The Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council (QCC), in collaboration with ADNOC Distribution, has launched a campaign to verify the accuracy of all fuel meters used at ADNOC Distribution service stations in Abu Dhabi. The move aims to promote fair trade in Abu Dhabi by ensuring the conformity of fuel meters to the highest global quality standards.

From the beginning of 2015 until July, a total of 1,960 fuel meters across 82 service stations in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and the Western Region have been verified for accuracy as part of the campaign that will end in September 2015.

Mohammed Helal Al Balooshi, Marketing & Communications Director at Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council (QCC), said: "QCC's collaboration with ADNOC Distribution on this campaign reflects our commitment to creating a safer and fairer market environment in Abu Dhabi by ensuring market confidence through reliable legal metrology services. In launching this campaign, we seek to gain the confidence of consumers in the accuracy of every fuel meter used in Abu Dhabi, while raising awareness about their rights in this aspect."

QCC deployed special vehicles fitted out with necessary testing equipment in line with the latest international standards. It also used volumetric test measures and international calibration methods to ensure the conformity of meters to set standards.

Khalid Hadi, Vice President, Marketing and Corporate Communications Division at ADNOC Distribution, said: "ADNOC Distribution takes all necessary measures to ensure that our services are compliant with the highest quality standards and specifications. Towards this priority, we collaborate with various stakeholders, including QCC, to ensure the quality of our services as well as safety of consumers."
