TÜV SÜD America is one of the first Auditing Organisations authorised to carry out audits within the MDSAP

TÜV SÜD America is one of the first Auditing Organizations (AO) which, beginning July 2014, has been authorized by the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) to carry out audits within the MDSAP pilot program.

Its goal is to develop common standards for quality management audits, which will be recognized by multiple participating countries. In the future, quality management system requirements for Medical Device manufacturers according to the regulations of Canada, Australia, Brazil and the USA will be satisfied by one single audit and the approval process might be considerably expedited e.g. in Brazil. TÜV SÜD plans to carry out its first MDSAP audits in October 2014.

Battery safety: TÜV SÜD calls for standardised international specifications

The testing methods used for batteries in electric vehicles (drive batteries) still vary widely throughout the world. In addition, they refer to differing types of battery, varying from single cells and modules to full-scale battery systems. “Standardised testing criteria and methods would significantly speed up time to market for battery manufacturers and automotive companies”, says Blandow. In addition, standardisation would promote consistency of quality and thus ensure that customers were supplied with high-grade products. A global regulation governing vehicle approval will provide for more safety in future, while also imposing more rigor on battery testing. The UN ECE R100 Regulation addresses areas including severe misuse of complete battery systems, simulated vehicle fires and mechanical deformation of the battery. Many countries, among them China, are already incorporating the requirements of R100 into their national regulatory frameworks. “With representation in areas including industry bodies in the US, we are urging the adoption of the UN ECE R100 as the global standard for battery safety”, stresses Blandow.

TÜV SÜD Consumer Products E-ssentials: changes to the EU Toys Directive

EU Toys Directive to expand the scope of nickel exemption

 

The European Commission (EC) has notified the World Trade Organization (WTO) of its intention to extend the existing exemption for nickel (CAS No 7440-02-0) under the Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC (TSD).

If adopted, this amendment will not preclude the REACH restriction on nickel which also applies to toys.

The amendment is expected to be adopted in mid 2014 and the requirements will enter into force 12 months after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Michael Sippl receives IEC 1906 Award

Munich/Geneva. TÜV SÜD expert Michael Sippl has received the IEC 1906 Award 2013 of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). In presenting the award, the IEC honoured Sippl's long services as chairperson of Technical Committee No. 62, and particularly his services in paving the way for a state-of-the-art practice-focused revision of the IEC 60601 series of standards.

From 1997 to 2011, Michael Sippl, a safety testing specialist for medical electrical equipment at TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH, chaired Working Group 14 "Testing to general safety standard" in Technical Committee No. 62 of the IEC. This working group prepares international standards and corresponding publications related to medical electrical equipment, systems and software. In his function as chair of Working Group 14, Sippl provided many years of services towards advancing standardisation in the field of medical electrical equipment and systems in a practice-focused and user-friendly manner. "Test standards must meet two requirements; they must enhance product safety and enable practical implementation", says Michael Sippl in explanation of his most important concern. His interpretation of complex application issues contributed crucially to the 2nd and 3rd editions of the IEC 60601-1 standard and its first revision.

The IEC 1906 Award commemorates the IEC's year of foundation. The award honours IEC experts whose work is fundamental to the IEC, and has been presented since 2004. "This is a very personal award, which I am very happy to receive", says Michael Sippl. While still active in TC 62, he has passed on the chair of WG 14 to his TÜV SÜD colleague Martin Schnee­berg. These two leading experts enable TÜV SÜD Product Service to provide manufacturers of medical devices with a critical edge in information, offering them maximum confidence for decision-making on complex issues.

Download TÜV SÜD's new white paper: 'Maritime AIS Market'

How can you gain fastmover advantage in the AIS market?

AIS is a system used by ships and vessels for identification at sea. AIS helps to resolve the difficulty of identifying ships by providing position, course, speed and other crucial ship data with all other nearby ships and vessel traffic services stations. It is important for these systems to be certified in conjunction with all applicable regulatory requirements to meet the growing demands of the AIS markets and manufacturers need to be aware of the different international standards and requirements for AIS.

This white paper takes a closer look at the impact of these requirements on testing and certification, and discusses what manufacturers need to do to get past these hurdles and ensure best in class services. The article concludes with a look at the increasingly important role that manufacturers play in ensuring that testing and certification efforts support safety at sea.
