SS-EN 15224 - Svensk Certifiering Norden AB

Certification

What is SS-EN 15224?

SS-EN 15224 is based on ISO 9001 but is complemented with requirements, interpretations, and specifications for clinical processes. ISO 9001 uses certain terms and definitions that may be unfamiliar within the healthcare sector. The private healthcare sector often places higher demands on the organization’s quality management system compared to other industries. By applying the standard as part of continuous improvement efforts — which can then be certified by Svensk Certifiering — additional value is created. This added value can also be utilized in marketing and in contacts with authorities.

SS-EN 15224 is designed to also provide value for organizations with research and educational processes within healthcare.

Svensk Certifiering Norden AB meets the requirements of ISO 17021 for management system certification bodies and is accredited by Swedac for certifications in quality, environment, and occupational health and safety. This product is not accredited by Swedac.
