"We are honoured that AMTZ has selected TUV Rheinland as its partner to establish testing laboratories within the zone and assist in it's ‘Make In India' drive", said Thomas Fuhrmann, Managing Director, TUV Rheinland India. "This is a result of our rich expertise and experience in supporting local and multinational medical device manufacturers in their verification & validation, equipment testing and certification activities."

"TUV Rheinland India has been selected by AMTZ for Operation, Management and Maintenance of Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI/EMC), Electrical safety & Biomaterial testing laboratories. These laboratories on a high level will have state-of-the facilities for testing of electrical and electronic products including Medical devices for EMI/EMC, Electrical safety and Biomaterial," added Fuhrmann.

"As AMTZ is investing on infrastructure and test equipment, it is evident that TUV Rheinland will have a very special price for the Medical device manufacturers within the zone. Also as these world class test facilities are within the zone, Medical device manufacturers can use the labs that are available in next door. This would reduce the overall product developmental lifecycle, logistics charges and turnaround time to market," said Kalyan Varma, Vice President Products, TUV Rheinland India.

"TUV Rheinland along with other scientific labs within the Zone can act as ONE STOP solution for the manufacturers within the zone to have their products tested and certified as per the newly published medical devices rules 2017 which will come into force from 1st Jan 2018."
