(2) Meeting the ISO 13485 Standard for Medical Device Quality Management
The Yasuda Logistics Group is targeting the medical device industry as a significant growth market. For this reason, some Group worksites have acquired ISO 13485 certification, the international standard for medical device quality management systems. Compliance with the ISO 13485 standard is required under medical device-related laws and regulations in many countries, including Japan following revisions of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, specifically the QMS Ordinance (Ministerial Ordinance on Standards for Manufacturing Control and Quality Control for Medical Devices and In-Vitro Diagnostics).
