Accreditation
At Omnimed, we believe that holding the relevant accreditations is an important part of being a trustworthy supplier. Below you will find details of accreditations we currently hold and ones we are working towards.
ISO Accreditation
ISO 13485:2016 | ISO Certificate Number: MD-1139
Omnimed complies with the requirements of ISO 13485:2016 [Medical devices | Quality management systems | Requirements for regulatory purposes], the internationally recognized standard for quality management systems in the design and manufacture of medical devices. It outlines specific requirements that help organizations ensure their medical devices meet both customer and regulatory demands for safety and efficacy.
ISO 13485 is crucial for manufacturers and suppliers of medical devices as it establishes a framework to ensure consistent design, development, production, and delivery of medical devices that are safe for their intended purpose. It aids in meeting rigorous regulatory requirements and managing risk, while ensuring best practices in the manufacture of medical devices. This standard not only facilitates market access across different countries but also enhances trust among stakeholders through demonstrated commitment to safety and quality.
ISO 14001:2015 | ISO Certificate Number: E4204
Omnimed complies with the requirements of ISO 14001:2015 [Environmental management systems | Requirements with guidance for use], the internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems (EMS). It provides a framework for organizations to design and implement an EMS, and continually improve their environmental performance. By adhering to this standard, organizations can ensure they are taking proactive measures to minimize their environmental footprint, comply with relevant legal requirements, and achieve their environmental objectives. The framework encompasses various aspects, from resource usage and waste management to monitoring environmental performance and involving stakeholders in environmental commitments.
In an age of heightened environmental consciousness and increasing global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion, organizations have a pivotal role to play. ISO 14001 offers a structured approach for businesses to address these pressing concerns. By adopting this standard, organizations signal a commitment not only to regulatory compliance but also to ongoing environmental improvement. This proactive approach to environmental management can result in tangible benefits, such as reduced waste, energy conservation, and cost savings.
As part of our commitment to Green Endoscopy and the wider goals of the Greener NHS Programme, we have made a commitment to making specific changes internally to ensure Omnimed is a more sustainable supplier via a range of internal initiatives.
