Genohm Achieves ISO 9001:2015 Certification
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Nov. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Genohm, the makers of SLIMS, the LIMS+ELN platform, has successfully achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification.
ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized standard that specifies the requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS) in a company. QMS impacts a company at every level, from daily administrative operations, to product development, marketing and sales, and through post-market customer service.
Genohm's recent achievement of ISO 9001:2015 certification, the latest updated version of ISO 9001, demonstrates a clear and ongoing commitment to maintain the highest QMS level throughout the company.
"We are very satisfied about the new certification and at the same time very proud of our Quality Team," says Genohm COO, Martijn Devisscher. "They have involved and motivated the entire company to work together towards achieving the updated ISO 9001:2015 certification."
Genohm was originally certified for ISO 9001 in 2014. The certification ensured that Genohm put in place a global quality environment with qualified procedures, documentation, and appropriate training to support our highly-skilled employees. This allowed the company to consistently achieve the highest quality standard for their integrated LIMS + ELN platform.
The new certification, with its greater emphasis on customer satisfaction, allows Genohm to build on its tradition of combining a customer-friendly approach to product development with a strong customer support focus. The upgraded :2015 regulations give Genohm additional tools to solidify the customer relationship and support in even more ways.
"This certification is a sign to our customers, current and future, of our profound commitment to quality," stresses Devisscher. "It reflects the efficient development of our SLIMS product, and that translates into higher value and a better customer experience for our clients."
