ytronic, a leader in durable, high performance Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT and MPCT) digital display touch sensors announced that it has completed the transition and accreditation of its company quality and environmental management systems to the latest ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 standards.
Commenting, Mark Cambridge, CEO
of Zytronic, said: “Zytronic is committed to ensuring that its business meets the highest standards of quality and environmental management. We therefore made it a priority to achieve the transition to the revised ISO9001 and ISO14001 standards, which we have achieved quickly in just over a year, more than 18 months ahead of the deadline for compliance.” Cambridge continued: “The new
standards are very much in alignment with Zytronic culture, because they ensure that the company’s management systems are fully integrated with its business strategies. In order to achieve the transition, we were able to demonstrate the key changes of Zytronic’s leadership commitment to the standards and that our processes reflect the aspects, impacts and risks we see as a business as well as the context in

which we operate. Achieving the transition to the new standards proves to our customers, employees and other stakeholders that our management and environmental systems continue to be fit
for purpose and are fully conformant to the latest best practice.”
ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015
standards were published in their final form in September 2015, and are the
first major revision of the standards since 2000. Key changes include greater emphasis on building a management and environmental system suited to each organisation’s particular needs. This includes a requirement that those at the top of an organisation are involved and accountable. It also introduces risk- based thinking to make the systems a preventive tool and a platform for continuous improvement. The deadline for achieving compliance is September 2018, after which an organisation not accredited to the new standard is no longer compliant.
Carla Whyte, senior client
propositions manager at BSI commented: “Zytronic should be proud that they have achieved certification to both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 well ahead of the 2018 deadline, demonstrating they are carrying out best practice in quality management and environmental management. Certification to these standards will bring a number of benefits to the organisation, including stakeholder confidence, improved business processes and increased customer satisfaction.”

AMBER wireless: AMB2621 Bluetooth smart module – FCC-certified A
MBER wireless GmbH, a Würth Elektronik eiSos Group company, has had the AMB2621 Bluetooth smart module certified for the Canadian and US markets (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Telecommunication Part 15 - Radio Frequency Devices). Manufacturers that use the extremely compact and energy- saving wireless module in their products gain time and cost benefits as a result, as they no longer need to have them specifically certified with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). AMBER wireless previously secured conformity for the European Union according to the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU (RED). The certifications for the AMB2621 module demonstrate that not only are all directives fulfilled for the European market, but now also for the US and Canadian markets, that personal safety is not at risk, good immunity against electromagnetic interference exists and that the radio spectrum is used efficiently. This allows manufacturers to

bring their devices to market quicker and without their own FCC certification with the aid of the Bluetooth solution from AMBER wireless: A simple reference on the device label is sufficient, stating that FCC-ID R7TAMB2621 is integrated.
Easy to integrate
AMB2621 is a 2.4 GHz BLE radio module with dimensions of just 11 x 8 x 1.8 mm, compliant with the Bluetooth Smart 4.2 Standard and is offered with or without an integrated antenna. A special feature of the module: besides standard control with UART commands, smartphones or other devices can also be connected to the module using the “peripheral only” operating mode. This mode is recommended whenever the module itself does not initiate any connections (i.e. is only contacted from the outside) and the host requires a transparent interface as a cable replacement. This allows existing products to be expanded with a BLE interface without
having to be adapted in advance. The AMB2621 thus avoids the need for expensive and interference-prone displays in the device – any mobile
device, such as a smartphone or tablet, can be used as a display.
