Expert Help Available for the Implementation of ISO 9001:2015 Revisions
Changes to ISO 9001 were made in 2015. All ISO 9001 certified organisations have a 3 year transition period to update their quality management systems accordingly. If your processes involve any weighing steps, Mettler Toledo can support you to easily make the necessary updates, using the proven risk-based Good Weighing Practice™ approach. Do you need help to be ready by September 2018?
ISO 9001 is a standard that sets out the requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS). Its aim is to help businesses and organisations
be more efficient and improve customer satisfaction. ISO 9001:2015 was released in 2015 and certified organisations have to adapt their processes to meet these changes by the September 2018 deadline. Greater emphasis is placed on the process approach, and risk-based thinking is now an important focus. Continuous improvement can be achieved by implementing the recommended Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. But how do these elements relate to weighing?
Weighing has a critical impact on product quality. Quality is directly related to the accuracy of weighing results, and that accuracy is determined through calibration. A company is obliged to ensure that every balance or scale used in the weighing process is accurate enough to achieve the intended results.
To adopt the latest revisions to ISO 9001 for any processes which involve weighing, Mettler Toledo can support you to make the transition straightforward. Proven and well-established Mettler Toledo expertise, Good Weighing Practice™, was founded on the risk-based thinking approach. The elements which need to be considered for the PDCA cycle are already defined and fully developed within the GWP® Verification packages, making it easy to ensure that any weighing processes are ISO 9001 compliant.

Top Loading Autoclave Perfect for Taller Loads
For laboratories looking to sterilise tall items such as fermentors and large capacity Erlenmeyer flasks, or have a high-density load requirement but have limited floor space, latest version of the Priorclave C60 top loading autoclave (
http://www.priorclave.co.uk/products/top-loading- autoclaves/) could prove to be the perfect choice.
Designed and built by one of the UK’s leading autoclave manufacturers, the Priorclave compact C60 autoclave with its 60 litre stainless steel chamber can accommodate easily ten one-litre or sixteen 500ml bottles, alternatively six one-litre Erlenmeyer flasks. This highlights the versatility of an autoclave requiring just 472 x 620mm of floor space.
Through the push-button Tactrol® 2 microprocessor control system users easily programme the
sterilising parameters of time and temperature as well as select special features such as free- steaming and media warming. Free steaming can improve air removal in difficult loads and/or reduce temperature lag between the load and the autoclave, reducing process time at higher temperatures. The media warming feature cycles the temperature between approximately 45º to 55ºC once the factory pre-set temperature of 45ºC is reached, which continuous until the door is opened. This allows, for example, nutrient media to be held as a liquid until it is needed, especially when used along with the delayed start function.
Access to the sterilising chamber is gained through the patented Quickseal single-action door closure/opening mechanism which is designed for one handed operation and incorporates thermal and pressure locks that prevent opening at unsafe temperatures and pressure to prevent personal injury.
This versatile C60 top-loading autoclave range is available as a standard design or as a vacuum model, both versions are electrically heated with the elements contained within the actual chamber for faster and more efficient build-up of high-temperature, pressurised sterilising steam.
Also, the autoclave is equipped with castors it enables it to be easily moved when required and the fact that it plugs simply into a 13A socket to power-up, the Priorclave C60 top loading autoclave is one of the easiest and fastest to install.
Priorclave has incorporated Biomaster Protection into the exterior epoxy coating, a highly effective and permanent treatment for control of harmful bacteria, making any surface cleaner, more hygienic and providing durable lifelong protection against the threat of cross contamination.
