Pharmaceuticals

The pharmaceutical industry is tightly controlled and subject to strict regulations, which means that testing is often at the heart of demonstrating compliance to the various international standards which govern the industry. 

Where testing the mechanical strength characteristics of products and activities is related to the pharmaceutical industry, it can be broadly summarised under three groups :

Medical Devices - numerous Class I to III devices for drug delivery including catheters, stents, syringes, implants, surgical instruments, ventilators and many more ....

Pharmaceutical Packaging - non-reclosable packaging (eg. blister packs), bottles featuring child-resistant closures (CRC), tubes and sachets, sterile packaging for transdermal patches etc...

Pharmaceutical Products - tablets, gels and sprays
