Regulatory Certification to Meet Global Requirements

As a globally-recognized notified and accredited body, LNE/G-MED can provide a one-stop solution for offering your products to a worldwide market.

LNE/G-MED holds international accreditations from the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Taiwan's Ministry of Health. We're also recognized as a conformity assessment body (CAB) by the United States, Australia and New Zealand. LNE’s partnerships allow us to provide our customers with access to the Japanese (JPAL) and Brazilian (Inmetro) markets.

As an approved inspection body for over 20 European Directives, LNE plays a leading role in developing and applying European statutory certification (CE marking).

Certification of Quality Management Systems

An effective Quality Management System (QMS) is your best tool for reducing non-conformities and ensuring consistent production specifications. LNE/G-MED can provide ISO 9001 certification at the same time as statutory certification (CE marking, legal metrology), including standards, such as: ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, ISO 22000 and QSE (Quality, Safety and Environment) integrated management system.

LNE issues its own certificates for packaging (LNE Emballage) and certifies products on behalf of French Standardization Association AFNOR (for the NF mark) and the French Association for Certification of Insulating Materials (ACERMI). We're also authorized to award certificates for the German Federal Ministry of Employment (GS mark), the European Standardization Committee CEN (Keymark), the British Retail Consortium and Institute of Packaging (BRC/IoP), the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers (FEFCO) and the European Solid Board Organization (ESBO).
