In order to provide our customers with a turnkey CE marking, we have established partnerships with selected subcontractors with our quality criteria for the performance of the remaining tests (see above).
In order to ensure quality, our laboratory is committed to GLP compliance.
After each test, an evaluation report is written according to current standards. The evaluation report must provide evidence of the safety and performance of the device through an analysis of all the results and interpretations of the various tests performed.
