Published: Tuesday, October 24, 2017 - 12:00 We cover a wide range of topics on QDL most weeks, but our latest episode, from Friday, Oct. 20, 2017, provided a steady drumbeat of technological detail. Here’s what we chatted about: “Energy Harvested from Evaporation Could Power Much of U.S., Says Study” “New Handbook Helps Medical Devices Sector Improve Its Quality Management System” ISO 13485:2016, the quality management system standard created just for the medical device industry, allows users to balance safety, efficiency, and good stewardship of their companies. ISO’s new handbook helps users, registrars, and certification bodies properly interpret the standard.

Elizabeth Gasiorowski Denis of ISO Focus asks us to consider the importance of standards in organizing and harmonizing world trade through the intermodal transfer that’s endemic to today’s supply chains.

All technology, all the time
