The ISQ was selected to calibrate the sensors that monitor the conservation temperatures of freezers that will receive in the coming days the first doses of COVID-19 vaccines. It is also conducting ark conformity assessment tests. These have already begun and will continue in the coming days. It should be noted that ISQ already carries out conformity assessment and testing of Medical Devices (DM) and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), supporting manufacturers in the implementation of the conformity assessment procedure and its assessment to be submitted to the supervisory authority. The ISQ also carries out the evaluation tests necessary for community masks, supporting the preparation of the product dossier and the CWA certification process. Additionally, the COVID OUT service is available to the market. COVID-19 can be transmitted by contact with surfaces, where the virus can remain active for several days (WHO Source). ISQ developed this service with a view to identifying, analyzing, evaluating and treating the risk of transmission of Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. We thus guarantee users of the spaces the confidence and safety necessary for their use by identifying risk factors and critical points, defining a sampling plan for sample collection and analysis, with results in 48 hours, integrated action plan and monitoring the effectiveness of the control measures implemented.
