About ISO certifications
The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an independent, non-governmental international organization made up of 170 national standards bodies. These bodies work to develop official international standards that are voluntary, consensus based and market relevant.3,4
Most Medix Biochemica's manufacturing sites follow strict quality-management systems (QMSs) and are ISO 13485 or ISO 9001-certified.
- ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized standard for QMSs. It provides a framework for organizations to put in place the right processes and trained staff in order to consistently deliver effective products and/or services.5
- ISO 13485 is the internationally recognized standard for QMSs which have been specifically developed for the design and manufacture of medical devices. The requirements of ISO 13485 are in place to ensure that these devices meet regulatory demands and customer expectations for safety and efficacy.6

Medix Biochemica's commitment to quality and ISO certifications significantly benefits our customers, particularly those in the IVD industry. Our adherence to the current ISO standards, including ISO 9001 and ISO 13485, ensures that our manufacturing sites maintain strict QMSs. This dedication to quality makes it easier for our customers to achieve their own ISO certifications, by streamlining the process of establishing a compliant supply chain.
Long-standing certification1
As an example, our headquarters in Espoo, Finland has held an ISO 13485 certificate for over 20 years. This long-standing certification underscores our reliability and consistency in delivering high-quality IVD raw materials. By partnering with Medix Biochemica, customers can trust that they are receiving compliant and reliable products that meet stringent regulatory requirements.
