Biovica has been ISO certified since 2010. The update means that Biovica continues to fulfil the regulatory requirements for the development, manufacturing and sale of the company’s product DiviTum®. The certification gives the company still right to CE mark their products for the European Market.

ISO 13485 is an international standard that defines the requirements of the Quality Management System (QMS) for manufacturers of medical device. The latest version, published in 2016, was aimed to further harmonize the QMS requirements globally within the medical device sector.

Biovica is currently preparing an FDA submission for DiviTum® to get approval and access to the US market. During the journey, adjustments have been made to meet the high demands of Quality System Regulation (QSR) that FDA currently apply.

At the same time, the FDA has announced that they will replace QSR with ISO 13485:2016 in the near future, which means that Biovica's certification according to ISO 13485:2016 is well in line with the FDA application that the company is preparing.

“The implementation of ISO 13485:2016 shows that Biovica successfully maintains the quality standard required to put DiviTum® on the market. The certificate is a milestone for our company and our work to get DiviTum® with the highest quality and safety at the market”, says Wing Cheng, Market Access and Quality Assurance Director at Biovica.

”Biovica strives to produce DiviTum® that will meet regulatory and customer’s expectation. With the implementation of the ISO 13485:2016, Biovica is fully aligned with the global regulatory requirements. The certification is a key step in the process of achieving FDA approval”, commented Anders Rylander, CEO at Biovica.
