Quality Standards

One of the hardest working departments within our business is our dedicated technical team. They are responsible for ensuring our factories are conforming to legislative, quality and ethical standards.  We have a broad selection of products that covers a diverse number of legal categories.  We have developed an excellent in house team that has the knowledge and skill to be able to effectively manage this portfolio of products and give the appropriate advice to customers as required.

All our production facilities are subject to unannounced audits and are checked on a regular basis to ensure standards are maintained.  We consistently monitor and review our supplier’s performance through the integration of ISO 9001:2008 across our entire business.

Testing

Full testing is carried on all products as appropriate.

Cosmetics must legally conform to Regulation (EC) N° 1223/2009.  As such all our cosmetics are subjected to a full Cosmetic Product Safety Report.  This range of testing includes the full analysis of all the components, microbiological screening and shelf life testing, which helps us form a picture of the final product and ensures that all our products are safe and legal.

Medical devices are backed up by the full technical product information files.  This will include substantial information relating to the manufacture and quality systems that are in place for these products.  All medical devices will conform to the relevant standards ie ISO 13485: 2003 / EN ISO 13485:2012, Directive 98/79/EC on in vitro diagnostic medical devices Annex IV.

All medicinal products are supplied by fully accredited and licenced manufacturers.  As a Technical Team we carry out substantial regular checks on all our licenced suppliers to ensure they are performing their legal duties and meeting the quality standard required.
