Title: ISO 13485:2003 Audit
Post by: Eupher on July 24, 2013, 07:29:09 AM
In Day 2 of this audit.

Looking good so far.

For those who don't know, ISO 13485:2003 is the international quality standard for medical devices. My plant is certified to this standard; this is a surveillance audit.

As said, no observations so far. Our use of risk analysis has been noted as being above par, which is a good thing and a necessary thing since our products are essentially commodities and there isn't the interest in investing a lot of time, money and effort in an inexpensive technology.

Let's see what the rest of the day brings.

Hey, that's what I thought they were bottling and selling.

Not yet, but if I do, could you send a note to Galadriel? She's halfway expecting to hear from me anyway.....  :-)

How's it at the end of day 2?

We just got through ISO 9001, 14001 and AS9100 and AS9110 two weeks ago.

It's a surveillance audit, and we're a small plant (82 employees), so we're done.

ZERO OBSERVATIONS OF ANY TYPE.  :yahoo:

Next year is the full recert audit - 3 days.

Just walked a facility through an audit last week as well.  Some are far easier than others!
