HONG KONG SAR – 27 January 2022 – Rhenus Hong Kong announced today that it has earned ISO certification, ISO13485:2016, after an extensive audit of the company’s internal operations. This quality management certification covers the design and development, production, storage and distribution, installation, or servicing of a medical device and design and development or provision of associated activities.
ISO 13485:2016 is a standard to certify quality management systems for businesses who provide medical devices and related services. ISO 13485:2016 can also be used by suppliers or external parties that provide products, including quality management system-related services to such organizations.
Companies that achieve ISO 13485:2016 demonstrate a high standard of process and system management. Rhenus Hong Kong’s professional handling and storage of medical devices is among the key highlights of the accreditation, which saw the audit dive into areas such as resource management, monitoring and measurement processes, product and contamination control, and traceability control and measurement.
