The company

Quality and certifications

Consistent quality management permeates all levels and services at Labor LS: from the quality control of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and cosmetics to the implementation of all quality assurance measures accompanying production in the various projects with our customers.

As a laboratory service provider for quality testing, it goes without saying that we comply with all the demands specified by legal requirements, standards and other regulations in the field of quality control and quality assurance. We always keep our quality standards at a "state of the art" level, and we do not view this as a static state at all. Instead, we continually draw on more than seventy customer audits each year to develop new ideas for our quality assurance systems. According to our understanding, a dynamic system can only be lived and developed further with highly qualified employees. For this reason, continuous further training through internal and external impulses, the development and expansion of personal skills and know-how plays a key role in the implementation of quality standards.

Good Manufacturing Practice and thus the requirements of the Pharmaceuticals and Active Ingredient Manufacturing Ordinance as well as the EU GMP Guideline for Good Manufacturing Practice are implemented in all areas of Labor LS in which pharmaceuticals, starting materials and packaging materials are tested. And of course, we also comply with the US CGMP requirements. Labor LS has been regularly inspected by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1993 and is listed there as an accepted testing laboratory. In addition, the existing manufacturing permit according to § 13 AMG, also allows releases for the marketing of medicinal products or certifications by a qualified person according to Annex 16 of the EU GMP Guidelines.

 

The standard DIN EN ISO 17025 represents the "General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories". In specific, the accreditation serves to prove the qualification and competence of the testing laboratory for the testing of cosmetics, foodstuffs and medical devices.

The international environmental management standard ISO 14001 defines globally recognised requirements for an environmental management system. Labor LS was one of the first testing laboratories to be certified according to this standard in 1997.
