Quality as the foundation of our success maxon standards Quality at maxon is more than a technical promise. It is the result of decades of experience, consistent innovation, and a company‑wide understanding of quality that shapes every detail.
This is where implantable systems are created: the cleanroom at maxon’s headquarters in Sachseln, Switzerland.
Quality shapes all business and produc- tion processes at maxon. Clear design standards, defined technical specifica- tions, and strict process control ensure that products consistently meet the highest requirements. This understand- ing of quality goes beyond measurable product characteristics: it influences how our employees think and act and is firmly rooted in the so‑called maxon Quality Mindset. Uniform standards for quality, safety, and processes apply worldwide. Business and production procedures comply with international standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. The maxon medical division is certified according to ISO 13485, and drive systems for aerospace applications
meet the requirements of EN 9100. These regulatory frameworks create transparency, comparability, and safety throughout the entire product life cycle— from development to series production. Compliance with these standards is reviewed regularly. Requirements in the cleanroom Particularly high standards apply to implantable systems used inside the human body. Their assembly takes place in GMP‑certified cleanrooms covering around 1200 square meters. In these areas, particle concentration and microbiological contamination of air and surfaces are continuously moni- tored and checked for traces of spores, bacteria, or fungi. Employees working in
these cleanrooms receive specialized training and are qualified to comply with the strict requirements. At maxon, quality is understood ho- listically and extends beyond products and production processes. All employ- ees must adhere to a Code of Conduct, which serves as a guideline for ethical behavior and professional standards. There is also a Code of Conduct for suppliers. It defines expectations re- garding ethical behavior, social respon- sibility, and environmental awareness. It is an integral part of the business terms and must be accepted by suppliers upon registration. Compliance is verified through audits and analyses to ensure that suppliers meet the standards of the maxon Group.
