Product Development & Design Controls
 

For more than twenty years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has identified insufficient design controls as a major factor in product recalls.  In 1990 FDA published a study based on 5 years of recall data showing that nearly half of all recalls were due to deficiencies designed into the product.  A seven-year FDA study published in 1991 showed that 90% of software-related device failures were design-related.  These studies make a strong case that an effective design control system is critical in avoiding consumer safety issues and minimizing the crippling effects of recalls on your company’s reputation and bottom line.

Our Associates have taught design controls publicly, and at GlobalReg we’ve translated the mystique of the design control regulations into a reliable, proven, and sustainable system.  Whether you’re striving to meet FDA’s Quality System Regulation design requirements, or the product realization requirements from ISO 9001:2000, or both, we are equipped to implement a design control system that is the right fit for your company, and proportional to the risk level of your products.  We invite you to tour the following design control services offered by GlobalReg:
