Or Yehuda, Israel, November, 15 2010 - Net-Translators, a leading provider of translation, localization, and multi-lingual testing services, today announced that it has achieved ISO 13485:2003 registration from the International Organization for Standardization.

By achieving ISO 13485:2003 certification, Net-Translators can guarantee medical device clients that their services are performed in compliance with the exceptionally rigid quality requirements set by this standard.

The primary objective of the ISO 13485:2003 standard is to facilitate a common set of global quality requirements for the medical device industry, in order to help medical device companies and their suppliers consistently meet the customer and regulatory requirements for quality. The ISO 13485:2003 certification specifies the necessary requirements for the quality management systems in these companies as they relate to the medical device industry.

"Receiving ISO 13485:2003 certification demonstrates to our medical devices customers that we are committed to the highest quality of service and to aligning our processes as needed to deliver localization services to this industry," said Gal Yissar, CEO, Net-Translators Ltd. "Although registration was a goal," Yissar added, "the benefits go well beyond passing a registration audit," adding, "any inspection and refinement of our already quality-focused processes will only serve to improve the quality of service we can provide to all of our clients."
