World Courier ISO compliance

What is ISO certification?

Pharmaceutical manufacturers often hear the term ‘ISO certification,’ but they might not fully understand what this means for their business. The ISO 9000 certification is established through the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is inclusive of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) current good manufacturing practices (cGMP). Many aspects of FDA’s quality system (QS) regulation were modeled around ISO standards.

These certifications provide a framework for demonstrating to clients that a documented quality management system (QMS) exists throughout an entire organization. The initial certifications are only the beginning of a committed process; the standard also sets requirements for continuous improvement that are verified through rigorous third-party audits.

What is ISO compliance?

ISO compliance means following the rules and standards set by the International Organization for Standardization. These standards help businesses operate in a way that ensures quality, safety, and efficiency. Meeting these standards shows that a company is committed to doing things the right way and improving over time.
