Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (Adnec) said it has achieved the prestigious ISO 9001:2008 certification further endorsing its status as a leading exhibition, conference and event venue in the Middle East.

Adnec chairman Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan received the ISO certificate from representatives of BSI, the audit certification agency in the presence of Adnec board members and senior management.

Commenting on the win, Sheikh Sultan said, "The certification points to the excellent service standards of Adnec and is in line with efforts to ensure the venue remains best-in-class."

Ali Saeed Bin Harmal Al Dhaheri, Adnec’s managing director, said despite several challenges that impacted the global exhibitions industry last year, the centre had performed creditably thanks to the team’s commitment.
 
The ISO 9001:2008 certification is the latest in a series of Adnec achievements since it opened in 2007, said Sheikh Sultan.
 
Last year alone, the exhibition centre won seven awards including ‘Best International Venue,’ at both the Exhibitions News Awards, and the AEO Awards in the UK, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
