Jenex Passes Renewal Audit for ISO 13485:2003 Medical Device Certification

Jenex has successfully passed the renewal audit for ISO 13485:2003 medical device certification. The audit was conducted by SGS North America - the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity.

ISO 13485 is designed to be used by organizations throughout the life cycle of a medical device, from initial conception to production and post-production, including final decommission and disposal. It also covers aspects such as storage, distribution, installation and servicing, and the provision of associated services. In addition, the standard can be used by other internal and external parties, such as certification bodies, to help them with their certification processes, or by supply chain organizations that are required by contract to conform. ISO 13485 helps an organization design a quality management system that establishes and maintains the effectiveness of its processes. It reflects a strong commitment to continual improvement and gives customers confidence in its ability to bring safe and effective products to market.
