Herga’s technical and production teams are strongly focused on continuous improvement with new product development tracked by a comprehensive project gate process that ensures quality, costs and timescales are optimised from concept through to launch with planned life-cycle support.
The new certification joins the recently awarded ISO 9001:2015 status as well as individual IEC/UL 60601 product approvals. The ISO 9001:2015 award places Herga Technology in the first 10% to receive the restructured certification which aims to ensure a consistent and common structure across ISO standards that will help provide more unified management systems for businesses and organisations. Herga is already working towards attaining ISO 13485:2016 and hopes to complete accreditation in 2017.
Herga’s comprehensive product range includes standard and customised single- or multi-pedal switches in ergonomic designs that are available with electrical/electronic, pneumatic, Bluetooth® wireless and USB switching technologies. Application areas cover safe industrial, business and domestic machinery switching as well as medical grade switching and sensing.
