ITL Group Achieves Double ISO 13485:2016 Recertification
October 22, 2019 | ITL GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute

ITL Group (a G&H company) received ISO 13485:2016 recertification for its quality management system throughout its UK and US operations following a review by the British Standards Institute (BSI).
Last month, BSI visited ITL headquarters in Ashford, Kent to perform a recertification audit to ISO 13485:2016. The Group was recommended for continuing certification pending the outcome of an on-site audit at ITL’s manufacturing facility in Ashland, Virginia.
ITL Virginia Inc (ITL VA), which is listed on ITL’s ISO 13485 certificate as an additional site, underwent an annual surveillance audit on the 23rd and 24th September and was successfully recommended for recertification.
BSI’s consistent approach to both UK and US audits provides reassurance to ITL as a global subcontract design and manufacturing organization for ongoing compliance.
“We are delighted to have our quality processes repeatedly recognised with formal certification. It demonstrates our global commitment to quality, to meeting customer needs and international regulatory requirements, as well as helping our customers enhance the safety and conformity of their medical devices,” said Andrew Goodenough, quality assurance and regulatory affairs manager.
“Achieving recertification is a great accomplishment by our respective site teams and an excellent example of ITL’s commitment to delivering the highest levels of quality and regulatory compliance to our customers,” Managing Director Tom Cole said.

Critical Minerals: The New Power Play in Global Trade
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Access to critical minerals essential for electronics manufacturing, and China’s monopoly of them, is increasingly under scrutiny, with gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge)at the forefront of this discourse. However, all critical minerals imported from China share a similar narrative, and understanding the implications of this dependency and the risks to both U.S. commercial and defense sectors has created an urgent need for a comprehensive electronics strategy to secure and diversify access to these vital minerals. In this candid interview, USPAE Executive Director Jim Will discusses the issues and the mitigation steps that must be taken to adequately address them.
Interposers, Substrates, and Advanced Manufacturing
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007I attend a lot of industry trade shows and conferences. Lately, during conversations with technologists, I’ve noticed that there is some confusion about what exactly constitutes an interposer.
