12. Present situation with non-autoclave aerated concrete
products in the UAE
• Dubai Municipality Building Department has issued the primary
approval certificate ECOCON Construction System
• UAE-Russian Intergovernment Committee has mentioned in its
latest protocol the necessity of introduction Russian GOST
standards to ESMA and UAE standard practice
• First non-autoclave lighweight concrete production plant has
been officially launched.
• UAE customers has accepted and applied the material to
practical construction

13. Importance of Non-autoclave Lightweight Cellular Concrete
Non-autoclave lightweight cellular is the only chance of brining thermo insulated, ecological, affordable construction to
developing countries in Africa and Asia
