Complete Guide to ISO 9001 Calibration of Weighing Instruments for Medical Use Laboratory Testing Service

The calibration of weighing instruments for medical use is a critical aspect of ensuring the accuracy and reliability of medical devices. The relevant standards that govern this testing are outlined below:

  • ISO 9001:2015: This standard provides requirements for quality management systems to ensure consistency, efficiency, and effectiveness in an organizations operations.
  • ASTM E2586-14: This standard outlines the requirements for the calibration of weighing instruments used in medical applications.
  • EN ISO 9208:2017: This European standard specifies the requirements for the testing and calibration of weighing instruments for medical use.
  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) EN ISO 9001:2015: This Turkish standard is based on the international standard ISO 9001:2015 and provides additional requirements for quality management systems in Turkey.
  • These standards are developed by organizations such as:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)
  • The development of these standards involves a collaborative effort between industry experts, regulatory bodies, and other stakeholders to ensure that the requirements are relevant, effective, and aligned with current technologies.

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, best practices, and regulatory requirements. The revision cycle typically includes:

    1. Review of existing standards

    2. Identification of areas for improvement

    3. Development of new or revised requirements

    4. Public review and comment period

    5. Finalization and publication
