Saudi Electricity Company’s Jeddah South Thermal Power Plant has won ISO certification for quality and environmental compliance from Germany’s TUV Nord Group.
Khalid bin Abdulrahman Al-Tuaimi, executive vice president for power generation, said the plant’s certification came after TUV Nord, the German group that issues globally recognized quality certification, had concluded its inspection and testing of systems and operations and verified the presence of a well-documented, active environmental quality and compliance system.
TUV’s certification process involved extensive interviews with specialists and multiple field visits, he added.
“This ISO certificate is the culmination of the efforts of the power plant’s staff, who worked hard to put in place every system and qualify every department to do their part in maintaining excellence in the quality of our product and compliance with the most rigorous environmental regulations,” said Al-Tuaimi
He highlighted the Saudi Electricity Company’s commitment to quality, compliance, and environmental awareness.
More than 120 of the plant’s staff members attended five workshops to learn about ISO certification, and 15 of them became certified internal auditors who regularly check systems and debrief other staff.
