Samjin Pharmaceutical Hyangnam Plant Obtains ISO Integrated Certification

Samjin Pharmaceutical announced on the 13th that it has obtained integrated certification for three standards established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for its Hyangnam plant: 'ISO9001 (Quality Management System)', 'ISO14001 (Environmental Management System)', and 'ISO45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System)' to establish a management system for sustainable management and strengthen domestic and global business competitiveness.

The certification systems acquired by Samjin Pharmaceutical this time were conducted through an audit by the International Certification Center of the Korea Standards Association (KSA) Industrial Standards Institute, an international certification body. ISO9001, the quality management system, is a system that establishes and implements a quality assurance system throughout the entire product production process to establish quality management that can be trusted by consumers and customers. ISO14001, the environmental management system, aims to consider environmental aspects in product development and production, systematically identify and evaluate threats, and manage and improve them. Lastly, ISO45001, the occupational health and safety management system, is a certification that evaluates the establishment and operation of a system to prevent possible industrial accidents and diseases by reflecting safety and health policies in management policies.

Samjin Pharmaceutical has continuously made efforts to acquire these certifications and establish the systems by forming dedicated teams for quality, environment, and occupational health and safety management composed of experts for the Hyangnam plant. First, goals and policies were set, internal audits of existing regulations were conducted, new regulations for legal compliance and evaluation were established, and these were actively managed and operated. In particular, after the Osong plant obtained ISO45001 certification for the occupational health and safety management system in December last year, it was promptly extended to the Hyangnam plant, and integrated certification related to safety, environment, and quality was acquired in about six months.

Choi Yong-ju, CEO of Samjin Pharmaceutical, said, “Samjin Pharmaceutical prioritizes the highest quality through strict management, environmental improvement and maintenance, and the safety and health of its employees as its top management values,” adding, “We will further solidify these values through this integrated certification and do our best to strengthen domestic and global competitiveness.”
