Cellular Biomedicine Group Announces ISO 9001:2008 Certification and ISO-14644 Cleanroom Certification


SHANGHAI, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Cellular Biomedicine Group (OTCQB:EBIGD) announced today that it has recently achieved both ISO 9001:2008 certification and ISO-14644 cleanroom certification.

Cellular Biomedicine Group has been accredited the ISO (International Standards Organization) 9001:2008 certification by internationally recognized quality management system SGS and ISO-14644 cleanroom certification from ENV. In working towards this, every operational process within CBMG was analyzed and challenged resulting in a more efficient and agile organization.



ISO 9001:2008 addresses the requirements for implementing an efficient quality management system. This standard ensures that the organization fulfills and achieves continual improvement of its performance in pursuit of the customers' requirements, applicable regulatory requirements and enhancement of customer satisfaction.

SGS (Societe Generale de Surveillance) the agency granting the ISO 9001:2008 certificate is an international inspection, verification, testing and certification company, recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity. The certificate is issued by American National Accreditation Bureau (ANAB). To date CBMG is the only cell therapy company in China to be awarded the ISO 9001:2008 certification by SGS.


In addition, since 2012 CBMG has maintained an ISO-14644 cleanroom certification from ENV Services Inc. ENV is an ISO-accredited, US-based testing and certification company, certified in "Cleanroom Performance Testing" according to NEBB (National Environmental Balancing Bureau). In any precision setting, it is vital that all controlled-environment equipment meet certain design standards to ensure purity, quality and safety. To achieve this goal, the CBMG Shanghai cleanroom facility undergoes a top-to-bottom yearly calibration and validation from ENV.

CBMG President Dr William Cao stated, "We are extremely proud to obtain ISO 9001:2008 and ENV certification, which are important milestones in the development of our company. It is a significant achievement that demonstrates the commitment to a level of excellence upon which our partners can depend.
