TEHRAN – Iran’s National Petrochemical Company (NPC) launched a new system for technical specifications of petrochemical products, aimed at boosting transparency and supporting downstream industries.

Hassan Abbaszadeh, NPC’s managing director, said during the unveiling ceremony that the platform, known as SAMAP, will improve the flexibility of downstream sectors by providing clear technical data.

The launch coincided with the third day of the Iran Plast international exhibition in Tehran.

Abbaszadeh, referring to recent remarks by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Seyyed Ali Khamenei, said the country must move beyond the state of “neither war nor peace,” adding that exhibitions and similar initiatives underline the need to step up production and economic activity.
