Many congratulations to these Sussex Companies for recently achieving ISO standards!
Ultimate Sports Engineering Ltd is awarded ISO 13485: Medical Devices Standard
“Working with Ian over the past few weeks has been great. He fitted in straight away as part of the USE team and assisted us, with his immense wealth of knowledge, to achieve ISO 13485 certification. We could have not done this without Ian’s guidance, hard work, dedication, professionalism and calm manner. We are so very grateful. I would highly recommend Ian and we are looking forward to further opportunities so that we can work with him again. It has been a real pleasure.
Lisa Rumbold, Ultimate Sports Engineering Ltd
This opportunity came about In August 2023 when Quality Management Projects Ltd was asked by (USE) Ultimate Sports Engineering Ltd to help them prepare for ISO 13485:2016 Medical Devices Regulatory Standard (UKAS) accredited Certification Body who in this case was International Associates.
Prior to our involvement USE had engaged an independent assessor to conduct a system gap analysis, his report raised five potential non-conformances to be addressed. This is where Quality Management Projects became involved. One of the findings was an incomplete internal audit.
After the audits and rechecking the documented management system. The company was as ready as it could be for the 2.5 planned days certification audit.
It helped that the Lead Auditor was very thorough, knowledgeable, and a friendly communicator.
USE was recommended for certification with only a few, easy-to-fix minor non-conformance issues. The relief on my clients’ faces was evident. However, I think it probably took until the next day for the full extent of their achievements to sink in. The credit for their success belongs to them.
