Medical Donation Alliance Receives ANSI Accreditation
Alpharetta, GA (September 1, 2011) – The Partnership for Quality Medical Donations (PQMD) announced today that it is the first organization dedicated to quality medical donations to be accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as a Standards Development Organization (SDO).
“Accreditation by ANSI is an important accomplishment for PQMD and medical product donation standards,” said Lori Warrens, PQMD’s Executive Director. “ANSI is the only accreditor of U.S. Standards Developers, the only body that approves standards as American National Standards (ANS) and the U.S. representative to ISO (International Organization for Standardization). ANSI accreditation provides a solid foundation for advancing medical donation standards so that only needed and appropriate products reach the people who need them.” Read more.
