Boston Engineering Corporation awarded ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certifications
Certifications recognize Boston Engineering's excellence in quality management of design and product development for medical, commercial, industrial and defense industries
WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 3, 2013 -- Boston Engineering Corporation today announced it has been assessed and certified to meet the requirements of both the ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards. Certification assures the firm's quality management systems comply with requirements established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
ISO certifications provide senior management with an efficient quality management process by establishing areas of responsibility across the organization. Dedicated implementation of this process communicates a positive message for staff and customers, saves time, reduces cost, and provides continuous assessment and improvement.
ISO 9001 establishes requirements for a comprehensive quality management system for product design and development consulting services for consumer, commercial, industrial, and defense markets, and for implementation support services for product lifecycle management systems.
ISO 13485 establishes requirements for a comprehensive quality management system for product design and development consulting services for the medical device market. ISO 13485 is based on the ISO 9001 format with additional requirements for design, special processes, environmental control, traceability, documentation records, and regulatory actions.
These certifications recognize an organization's excellence in quality performance related to customer focus, management, internal processes, and external relationships.
"Securing ISO Certification validates Boston Engineering's core design and innovation process, opens up significant market opportunities especially in the medical device development field, and establishes a foundation across the organization to support the company's expansion to all industries. I am extremely proud of our entire team. Our folks committed themselves to securing these certifications and worked tenaciously to achieve it," stated Bob Treiber, Boston Engineering's President.
Boston Engineering built its reputation on quality by adhering to solid best practices. "The certification process broadened this platform and enhanced our standard for quality achievement. Our certified quality system provides us with a springboard for the continued pursuit of deeper customer satisfaction," said Tom Bregani, the firm's Quality Director.
Established worldwide as an invaluable quality management system, these certifications help to improve an organization's management processes and allow it to compete locally and globally. As an ISO-certified consulting engineering firm, Boston Engineering provides excellence in quality management of product design and development services for the medical, commercial, industrial, and defense industries.
"Earning the International Standards Organization (ISO) 9001 and 13485 certifications for its quality management systems further galvanizes Boston Engineering's total commitment to quality performance, to advancing our clients' technologies, and to ensuring their ultimate satisfaction," commented Barbara Preisz, Director of Sales and Marketing.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
