CV Labels Ltd uses Label Traxx MIS to Achieve PS9000 : ISO 900102000 Pharmaceutical Certification

Milwaukee, WI, March 2008—CV Labels, a Label Traxx™ customer 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 Label Traxx print business management software, installed in 2007. 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.”
