Working with Lloyd’s Register we are delighted to announce that we have achieved the ISO 13485 certificate of compliance to the international standard for medical device quality management. This means that our quality management system has met the requirements. And is both appropriate and effective for designing, developing and manufacturing medical devices.



Striving for excellence in every automated solution. Labman’s multi-disciplinary workforce maintains the highest quality of service at every stage of a project. Working stringently to the ISO 13485 framework ensures we can meet and exceed our customers’ expectations within the medical device industry.

Achieving compliance to the ISO 13485 standard was overseen by Labman’s Quality Assurance Manager, Josie Burton. Here is what she had to say about this fantastic achievement:

This ISO certification represents an important milestone for Labman. It reflects our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality services within the Medical Device industry and to ensuring that we continue to meet and comply with all relevant regulatory quality standards

Josie Burton - Quality Assurance Manager, Labman.

Like many businesses, we are already ISO 9001 certified by UKAS accredited QA International. ISO 9001 is an internationally recognised standard for quality management. ISO 13485 is based on this same framework, with the addition of specific requirements targeted at developers of medical devices.

This means we can now be involved in the design, production, installation, and servicing of medical devices. As well as related services and providing technical support to the highest international safety and quality standards.

Achieving ISO 13485 certification is a significant strategic milestone in Labman’s continued growth. The certification allows us to broaden our product development and product manufacturing services into the medical field. Watch this space!
