Impressive 'C.V.' PS9000 Pharma Standard acheived

CV Labels Ltd, a Label manufacturer in Irvine, Scotland, has attained the prestigious and complex PS9000 certification, which regulates the production of medical and pharmaceutical labels in the European Union.  CV Labels is the only label manufacturer in Scotland to achieve the standard. The certification addresses the fact that a significant proportion of safety recalls of medicines are attributable to faulty packaging.  Essential to the certification, according to CV Labels Managing Director Bob Veitch, was the company’s staff and Label Traxx print business management software, installed in 2007.

Bob Veitch commented: “Obtaining the PS9000 certification necessitated completely overhauling our management and quality control systems, as well as our physical plant. Segregation cells were created to control medical and pharmaceutical label production, and procedures were put in place to ensure that all labels and materials are fully accounted for.  In addition, artwork and design must be strictly documented through to plate storage and detailed hygiene, cleanliness and maintenance programs are required.”
