maxon Quality Assurance One of maxon motor’s main objectives is to offer our business partners high-quality products at attractive prices. Quality is interpreted in a very comprehensive way at maxon motor. Quality not only refers to the objective properties of the products, but extends to the manner in which our employees think and act. Our quality assurance system: As one of the first ten Swiss companies, we were awarded the Quality Certificate with the most stringent requirements according to international norm, on July 12, 1988. The structure and procedural organization, liabilities and responsibilities, as well as special assessments of processes and procedures are exactly documented for the entire staff, including management. Our Quality System is completely operational and practical. It is rigorously applied, maintained and periodically verified, the latter through BVQI Bureau Veritas Quality International since September 1991. ISO 9001:2008 ISO 14001:2004 ISO 13485:2003 SN EN ISO 13485:2003 is an internationally accepted quality norm for medical products that requires management and staff to ensure that the design and manufacture of medical products minimise potential risks for patients. The traceability of processes and raw materials must also be guaranteed. In 2007 the competence center in Sexau received certification for the development, production and distribution of ceramic dental implants. A year later, maxon medical Sachseln became ISO 13485-certified. This division develops, produces and markets drive components and systems, precision DC motor drive components up to 500 watts, spur and planetary gearheads, DC tachos, encoders and control electronics. 10
