PR Newswire (US)
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Dec. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Applied
Digital Solutions (NASDAQ:ADSX), through its wholly owned
subsidiary VeriChip Corporation, announced today that the quality
system at its VeriChip facility in Ottawa, Canada, has been
re-certified to the ISO 9001:2000 quality standard. The facility is
responsible for the design, manufacture, sales, marketing and
support of VeriChip's healthcare security and industrial products.
The ISO 9000 family of standards has become an international
reference for quality requirements in business-to-business
dealings. ISO, the International Organization for Standardization,
is the world's largest developer of standards. The ISO 9001:2000
standard specifies requirements for a quality management system in
order for an organization to demonstrate its ability to
consistently provide products that meet customer and regulatory
requirements. Under the standard, VeriChip is required to develop
and maintain a Quality Management System, and measure its results
to ensure continuous improvement in its products and services. The
company's Quality Management System was audited by QMI, North
America's leading management systems registrar. After an extensive
audit, QMI re-certified VeriChip as being in compliance with the
ISO 9001:2000 standard. "Our certification to the ISO standard is a
concrete sign of our commitment to give customers the best products
and service," said Daniel A. Gunther, President of VeriChip
Corporation. "As the company continues to grow and expand, having a
sound quality management system is essential to maintaining our
reputation for excellence." For more information on VeriChip's
