R-002-002 Quality objectives_2025_002
Objective details
Objective number
2
Description
Obtain regulatory clearance in new markets
Establishment date
January 2025
This objective is an extension of the objective 3 established last year and documented in the record R-002-002_2024_003
. We decided to extend it to 2025 because during 2024 we reviewed and changed the regulatory roadmap and we didn't complete the quality objective of obtaining regulatory approval in the established countries.
This objective includes the markets that have been agreed upon and documented in the R-002-008 Quality and regulatory roadmap
for 2025.
