ISO Acquisition Status

The Environmental Management System (ISO14001) was obtained by Sanyo Chemical 바카라 확률ts domestic subsidiaries and affiliates from 1999 to 2001 and maintained for about 20 years. However, as the company has established a system to build a management system in line with ISO requirements and continuously promote improvements internally, it was determined that the system could be sufficiently operated in-house, leading to the decision to relinquish domestic certification in FY2020. However, our overseas subsidiaries and affiliates will continue to maintain this certification. In addition, our quality management system (ISO9001) has been certified both in Japan and overseas. The Biotechnology & Medical Division has obtained ISO13485 (Medical Devices 바카라 확률n-vitro Diagnostic Medical Products) certification, a quality management system specialized for pharmaceuticals.
