NATIONAL STANDARDS AUTHORITY
OF IRELAND REDEFINES THE MEDICAL DEVICE APPROVAL PROCESS.
Nashua, New Hampshire, July 23, 2007 – The National Standards
Authority of Ireland (NSAI) is redefining the medical device
certification industry by offering North America’s only time-to-market
certification service for medical devices.
“For too long, certification bodies have been a roadblock
for medical device manufacturers,” says Kevin D. Mullaney,
President and CEO of NSAI. “You only have to speak with a
few industry representatives to learn that no one in the medical
device manufacturing field is happy with the service provided
by their notified bodies. Product time-to-market is the key
to success for medical device manufacturers, however poor
response and project completion times by regulatory bodies
can add months to a product launch. But now NSAI has restructured
and refocused its efforts on medical device certification.
All of our employees are focused on one mission: to provide
medical device customers with fast turn around times for rapid-response
medical device certification.”
Mullaney says the number of regulatory bodies providing CE
Marking, CMDCAS and ISO 13485 and 14971 certifications for
medical device manufacturers is relatively limited. And because
these services are typically a small part of these regulatory
bodies’ larger overall portfolio of services, the medical
device manufacturers end up being the small fish in a large
pond. When there are service issues, the regulatory bodies
fix the problem and forget about service until the next crisis
arises. This results in the large fluctuation in performance
that the industry has become accustomed to.
“NSAI is going to turn the regulatory industry on its head
with the only true time-to-market service out there for medical
device manufacturers,” says Mullaney. “By concentrating solely
on the medical device directives, we will be able to give
manufactures a totally new experience when it comes to working
with a regulatory body. Our number one goal is to get our
client’s products quickly to market and the changes we’ve
undergone at NSAI will allow us to deliver on this promise.”
For over 50 years, the National Standards Authority of Ireland
has been offering a full range of services relating to Management
Systems Standards and Certification Services throughout the
world. The company provides medical device manufacturers with
CE markings, CMDCAS and ISO 13485 and 14971 certifications.

added service to further assist clients facing compliance
challenges. Helping our customers prepare for the future and
demonstrate compliance by utilizing our expertise to implement

necessary for long-term systematic change. With new legislation
