Medical Technology Sector

Certification in accredited test laboratory for vibration testing

as per DIN EN ISO 17025 and OSHPD

Special, often country-specific, seismic safety regulations apply for equipment in the energy and medical technology sectors.

In particular, the US state of California has its own test standards and acceptance procedures. These are monitored by special authorities who then certify the qualification of the equipment accordingly. This certification process includes the planning and execution of tests by a test laboratory accredited in compliance with ISO 17025 under the supervision of a California Licensed Structural Engineer and certification by the Office of Statewide Health Planning & Development (OSHPD).
