Dafo Vehicle certifications cover Gulf bus standards
Dafo Vehicle has achieved certification for UAE.S 5041:2021 and SASO 2946:2020 for fire suppression systems used in buses and coaches.
Dafo Vehicle announced that both certifications were issued by the Emirates Safety Laboratory (ESL).
UAE.S 5041:2021 is the United Arab Emirates standard for automatic fire suppression systems in the engine compartments of buses and coaches carrying more than 22 passengers.
The standard is intended to improve public transport safety by requiring vehicles in the region to use fire protection systems that meet defined testing requirements.
Those requirements include fire performance testing, along with vibration resistance testing.
The standard also requires temperature endurance testing to confirm system function in extreme operating conditions.
Dafo Vehicle adds Saudi standard approval
The company said its fire suppression systems are also certified to SASO 2946:2020, the Saudi Arabian standard for fire suppression systems in buses and coaches.
The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) issued that regulation for passenger vehicles operating in Saudi Arabia.
It sets requirements for automatic fire detection and suppression in engine compartments and for system performance during fire scenarios.
It also covers durability and reliability under vehicle operating conditions, with compliance verified through certified testing laboratories.
Dafo Vehicle said the two certifications support its work with operators and original equipment manufacturers in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
