International Accreditation For MET's Packaging Testing Laboratory

Medical Engineering Technologies’ medical device testing laboratory has received accreditation to ISO 17025. Our medical device pack testing facility has been independently accredited by UKAS (TESTING LABORATORY NO. 7848).

Ashford (PRWEB) - ISO 17025 is the laboratory equivalent of ISO 13845. This quality management system extends ISO 9001 to ensure that test samples, processes, data and analyses are all tightly controlled. All tests are carried out on qualified equipment, using validated methods and with experimental uncertainties calculated.

Accredited tests include: medical device packaging testing (ISO 11607), accelerated ageing (ASTM F 1980), medical device package integrity testing (ASTM F 1929), medical device package strength testing (ASTM F 2054, ASTM F 1140, EN 868) and medical device package visual inspection (ASTM F 1886).
