Hohenstein Medical Earns GLP Certification for Testing
Hohenstein Medical has successfully achieved certification for conducting medical device testing according to the internationally recognized Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards. This certification augments the company's capabilities, enabling it to better assist medical device manufacturers in navigating complex international regulatory demands.
The Importance of GLP Certification
GLP certification plays a critical role in the assurance of quality and consistency in laboratory results. Hohenstein Medical is proud to comply with this rigorous standard, which serves to build trust and confidence among its clients. As stated by Dr. Timo Hammer, the CEO, delivering accurate results is crucial for customers who produce life-saving devices. They rely on precise testing, quick service, and expert consultation.

With an extensive range of testing services, Hohenstein Medical covers various aspects of biocompatibility testing, including screenings for chemical safety, biological testing, and microbiological evaluations. By meeting GLP standards, Hohenstein Medical provides data that is recognized by regulatory bodies worldwide, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is often a requirement for product approvals in major markets.
Commitment to Quality and Compliance
Hohenstein's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality is evident as they also uphold ISO 17025 accreditation alongside their new GLP certification. This dual accreditation ensures that all test results can be globally accepted and comparable, providing clients with an additional layer of reliability in their testing processes.
Structured Approach to Safety Testing
Good Laboratory Practice was designed to maintain the integrity and traceability of non-clinical laboratory data submitted for regulatory consideration. The GLP framework imposes strict requirements regarding the organization and execution of health and environmental safety studies. Compliance with GLP ensures detailed documentation and quality assurance across all aspects of laboratory operations—from personnel to facilities and materials used.
