 | Renishaw Diagnostics Gains ISO 13485 CertificationGlasgow, Scotland, 1st December 2011
ISO 13485 is a standard, published in 2003, that represents the requirements for a comprehensive management system for the design and manufacture of medical devices. Allana Johstone, Renishaw Diagnostics' Head of Compliance said,“The BSI assessor was very impressed with our QMS System, our good practices, everyone she interacted with, and the general atmosphere she observed here at RDL. Our staff should be very proud of themselves for the outstanding contribution they have all made towards this achievement. It is unusual for a company as young as ours to have manufacturing included in the scope of the certification, so we are very pleased indeed.” Rupert Jones, General Manager, said, “We are delighted to have received this certification; it reflects a significant effort by all of our staff and reinforces our commitment to quality. The transition from an R&D company to a fully commercial organisation is a very challenging process and it is essential that we have the right people and systems in place to make this happen”.
