Alcan Packaging, a division of Rio Tinto Alcan, announces that its Medical Flexibles Americas Commerce, California and Marshall, North Carolina facilities have received the ISO 13485:2003 certification, a quality management standard for medical devices.

This certification promotes an in-depth quality management system, focuses on risk management, specific requirements for product traceability and evaluates the effectiveness of corrective and preventive actions. “The certification of our Commerce and Marshall facilities testifies to our continued commitment to the ISO 13485 standard, and the alignment to our customer’s Quality Management Systems,” commented Jon Anderson, Director of Quality. “Three of the four Medical Flexible facilities completed certification in 2007, and we are working to achieve certification in the Milwaukee facility in 2008.”
