The ICAN University Hospital Institute, dedicated to the fight against cardiometabolic diseases, is proud to announce that it has obtained ISO 9001, v2015 certification.
ICAN is the first IHU to obtain this certification, which underlines the commitment of the ICAN IHU teams to providing support for excellent research incorporating a quality approach and a rigorous approach to its management processes and governance.
ISO 9001: a guarantee of the quality of the products and services provided
Several months ago, the ICAN HCI began a methodical and rigorous process of setting up a quality management and continuous improvement system for all its activities: the clinical research centre, technology platforms and support teams have all incorporated the requirements of the ISO 9001 v2015 standard into their practices.
This certification, which attests to the recognition of the quality management of the products and services provided by the ICAN IHU, was issued under No. 2024/109689.1 by the Agence française de normalisation (AFNOR).
ISO certification is an international recognition of an organisation’s ability to manage its activities in accordance with the quality requirements of ISO EN NF 9001, v2015.
“Obtaining ISO 9001 certification confirms that our institute complies with high standards of quality management, covering governance and all our activities, from setting up research projects to providing research services through our technology platforms, including regulatory and legal support and our management processes. It is a mark of recognition of the demanding work carried out by all the teams at the IHU, who have mobilised themselves remarkably well ,” explains Stéphane Barritault – Secretary General of the IHU ICAN.
The ICAN IHU, a centre of scientific excellence with rigorous procedures
This certification is a vote of confidence for the researchers and doctors in the ICAN IHU’s scientific community, working in the laboratories of Sorbonne University and the Pitié Salpêtrière and Saint Antoine Hospitals, as well as for the platforms’ academic and industrial partners and customers .
ISO 9001 certification reflects the commitment of ICAN’s teams to working according to rigorous and efficient procedures, focused on customer satisfaction. The certification will also be a lever in the ongoing evaluation for renewal of the IHU label for 2025-2030.
“Obtaining ISO 9001 certification is a major step for our institute. It reflects our ongoing commitment to offering high-quality clinical and preclinical services, and to conducting cutting-edge research into cardiometabolic diseases. We are proud of this recognition, which testifies to the commitment and expertise of our teams” Professor Stéphane Hatem, Director General of the ICAN IHU.
