Boyd Industries Achieves International Quality Certification

CLEARWATER, Fla.–Boyd Industries, a dental equipment manufacturer, recently announced that it received certification to ISO 13485:2016, the internationally recognized standard guiding medical device producers in implementing quality management systems.

"Our company has made a commitment to both customers and regulators to manufacture and sell dental equipment of unparalleled quality. With the achievement of ISO 13485 certification, we're celebrating our pledge to supply dental customers worldwide with dental office equipment that is both safe and made to last," said Adrian LaTrace, CEO of Boyd Industries, in a press release.

This certification is the most recent version of the international standard, designed in response to technology innovations and changes in expectations and regulatory requirements. Each ISO standard undergoes revision every five years, unless markets determine that a premature revision is necessary to keep a particular standard relevant. ISO 13485 was created to direct businesses in the design, production, installation, and servicing of medical devices and related services.

"Our competitive analysis of the medical device industry indicated that many of our direct competitors in the marketplace are not ISO registered. Our company chose to publicly demonstrate our pledge to producing medical devices that comply with internationally recognized standards of excellence; in turn, we've raised our own standards in the design, manufacture, and sale of our products," said LaTrace of Boyd Industries, in the press release.
