Evac+Chair managing director, Mark Wallace, said: “Achieving the ISO 13485 standard is very important for Evac+Chair International as it recognises the expertise of our teams in interpreting the needs of our customers and maintaining quality standards throughout our entire manufacturing process.€ﾨ€ﾨ
