Briggs Medical Service Company today announced that it has earned both the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Registration and the CE Mark certification. These achievements affirm Briggs' stringent quality processes and further differentiate the respective products from competitive offerings.
ISO awarded Briggs a certificate of registration (ISO 13485:2003) for the design, development and manufacture of obstetrics, pediatric and incontinence management products; and for the manufacture design, sale and distribution of durable and disposable medical products. The ISO registration identifies that Briggs has formalized business processes and quality management systems in place enabling it to provide a quality management system that consistently meets regulatory and customer requirements.
The CE Mark certification was granted for Briggs' MABIS-branded line of obstetric products, including the Amnihook®, Plastibell® and U-Bag®. The CE Mark certifies the products meet European Union consumer safety, health or environmental requirements and enables Briggs to distribute the full line of MABIS branded obstetric products in Europe and other countries that recognize the CE mark.
"Briggs has always been committed to rigorous standards and processes, and to providing superior products, which have been reinforced by both the ISO registration and CE mark certification. These are clear reminders to our customers that they will receive only high-quality products that support and drive their businesses," says Stephan P. Hoffman, Chairman of Briggs. "Receiving these certificates represents a significant milestone for our company and further distinguishes us from our competition."
