Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance
CEpartner4U is specialized in the European Medical Device Regulations and Quality Management Standard ISO 13485:2016.
We work together with hundreds of medical device manufacturers, all of them specialized in their specific sector. Chances are high that our consultants have experience with your type of device or device category.
Our consultants carefully track the number of hours spent on each project. Unless agreed upon in advance, all our projects are completed within the stated budget. You are solely charged for the hours spent on your project.
Your documents, certificates and project related files are stored on a secure, ISO27001 certified data center located in the Netherlands, accessible only to personnel working on your project. Your data is never stored on laptops, desktop computers or portable media. We provide remote access as well as up- and download of large amounts of data.
CEpartner4U holds in strict confidence and never discloses, provides, communicates, or makes accessible to any person or use in any way for CEpartner4U’s own or another’s benefit any confidential information.
