RTA gets ISO 55001 certification

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has obtained the certification of the ISO 55001 standard for its NAMA Asset Management System, and has thus become the first government entity worldwide to obtain this international certification, following an audit conducted by the international auditing company SGS through its office in Britain.

The achievement, which was issued on January 15, reflects RTA’s capability to obtain the highest quality standards in achieving top quality standards in maintaining assets on the long run, and ensuring optimal asset utilisation in the long run.

Abdullah Ali Al Madani, CEO of the RTA Corporate Technical Support Services Sector, said: “The RTA’s success in making this breaking global achievement originates from adopting global quality standards in several fields, in addition to having in place long-term objectives to maintain assets for future generations, besides utilising them optimally as per the highest international standards; which enabled the UAE to achieve high ranking in infrastructure quality. This is clearly evidenced by the recovery of the local economy, people’s happiness and the success of the UAE in general and Dubai in particular in winning the bid to host Expo 2020.”
