Bayer gets ISO award

JAKARTA (JP): Publicly listed pharmaceutical giant PT Bayer Indonesia has received quality management standard International Standards Organization (ISO) 9002:1994 certification from the international monitoring body TV Rheiland.

The company said that the certification was awarded on Tuesday for its quality management system of its consumer care and crop protection, and for its factory in Pulogadung, East Jakarta.

The certificate is valid for three years, during which time TV Rheiland will perform annual audits by surveillance. At the end of the period, a new and comprehensive audit will be required in order to renew the certification.

The company said that the ISO 9002 award would complement the Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention certification which enables the company to export its pharmaceutical and over-the-counter products to Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Bayer Indonesia is primarily owned by Germany's Bayer AG. It has two production facilities in Greater Jakarta for pharmaceutical and over-the-counter goods, and for consumer care and crop protection products. (gis)
