Top certification to spur Lumiglass trade

Lumiglass Industries, a component of Glass LLC, major processor of laminated safety glass in the Middle East and a subsidiary of Dubai Investments, has announced that it has received the European CE Mark certification — the regulatory approval for competing in the European market.
The CE Mark and label certification, in accordance with EN 14449-2, validates the company’s direction and commitment to the production of building-laminated and safety glass to the highest manufacturing standards.
CE marking is a mandatory quality and safety conformity mark for products placed on the market in the European Economic Area, consisting of the 27-member states of the EU and European Free Trade Association countries — Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
With this certification, the company can now carry the CE Mark and label on its laminated and the laminated safety glass products.
Ziad Yazbeck, SVP, sales and marketing, Glass LLC, said: “The CE Mark certification to Lumiglass is a major milestone in our journey to further expand the business.”
Yazbeck said: “The certification reinforces our commitment to the highest standards of quality and safety on our laminated glass products, which enables us to market our range throughout the European Economic Area. Since our inception in 2003, Lumiglass has maintained high standards of quality and the CE Mark certification allows us to aggressively expand our global reach.”
He added: “With this certification, the business opportunities ahead for Lumiglass in the European market are significant.”
He said: As a company, we are very competitive in our pricing model and the desired quality CE certification gives us added advantage in the international markets.”
Lumiglass Industries was the first company in Dubai to achieve the ASI (Accreditation Services International) and ANSI Z97.1 (American National Standards Institute) accreditations as well as internationally recognized armor glass certification for ballistic protection.
The company has also received the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) certification for its improved bullet-resistant product line.
