SGS Achieves ISO 45001:2018 ANAB Accreditation in North America

Published

on

BLOOMFIELD, NJ, March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection, and certification company has achieved accreditation by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) for ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems. This accreditation enables SGS to deliver independent, third-party assessments to businesses seeking certification to ISO 45001, an international standard that creates a framework for organizations to manage and mitigate health and safety risks in the workplace. 

“Accreditation by ANAB bolsters our certification portfolio and is important for our North American clients as it will facilitate integration with other SGS ANAB-accredited standards, such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. SGS will maintain its UKAS and SAS accreditation for ISO 45001, enabling clients to receive an accredited certification wherever it is required,” said Angela Garner, Vice President, Industrial and Mobility, SGS North America. “Delivering the ISO 45001 certification also aligns with SGS’s Strategy 27, which sets ambitious growth targets in North America. We are responding to megatrends in the TIC industry, particularly the demand across industries for greater health and safety standardization and assurance.” 

With its emphasis on health and safety in the workplace, ISO 45001 boosts an organization’s reputation and retention. The standard is unique as it requires active worker participation beyond internal audits. It includes a specific clause, 5.4, Consultation and Participation of Workers, ensuring workers are involved in health and safety decisions and that there is a mechanism in place for feedback. It also aims to protect visitors to a business from accidents and illness.

Certification to this standard by an accreditation body, like SGS, ensures that an organization’s management system is effective and in line with the requirements of the ISO 45001 standard and its associated best practices. ISO 45001-certified businesses achieve conformance to a single international benchmark, which is also beneficial for organizations with global trading partners or clients. “Organizations in every industry need to ensure that their offices, labs, or field sites are safe places for workers. We look forward to supporting organizations across North America in achieving a certification that demonstrates this commitment,” commented Garner.

With over 145 years of established history and experience in delivering testing, inspection and certification services, SGS supports both public and private sector organizations with their regulatory compliance and quality assurance needs. Its services span many sectors including natural resources, consumer products, cosmetics and hygiene, pharmaceutical, food and agriculture, industrial manufacturing, and transportation. In fact, SGS holds the largest number of national accreditations globally to support customers in meeting their compliance needs and challenges.

The ISO certification series aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, supporting SGS’s position as a leader in delivering sustainability solutions. It also supports SGS’s IMPACT NOW for sustainability portfolio of services which are designed to address ever-changing market demands and the urgent needs of the planet. “With the ISO 45001 certification aligning to six of the 17 UN SDGs and supporting SGS’s IMPACT NOW for sustainability services, we also look forward to helping clients strengthen their sustainability practices in the workplace,” concluded Garner.

ProDentim Alerts Consumers About Misleading Third-Party Resellers and Reinforces Commitment to Product Integrity

Published

on

By

BOSTON, March 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The official brand behind ProDentim has issued a public advisory regarding unauthorized third-party resellers misrepresenting the product online. Reports of unverified vendors listing non-official versions of ProDentim across various platforms have surfaced, leading to confusion among consumers.

The official ProDentim brand has been receiving complaints from individuals who unknowingly made purchases from unverified sources, later realizing discrepancies in packaging, labeling, and product details. This has raised concerns about authenticity and product integrity, as the original product was developed only under Bioventra’s portfolio of advanced formulations.

In response to these growing concerns, Bioventra has issued an official statement emphasizing that ProDentim should only be purchased through its official website to ensure quality and authenticity.

Unverified Resellers Causing Widespread Confusion

In recent weeks, multiple ProDentim consumer reports have highlighted the increasing prevalence of unauthorized sellers listing ProDentim outside of the brand’s verified distribution channels. This issue is not unique to ProDentim, as the broader supplement industry has faced similar challenges with third-party vendors presenting themselves as legitimate sources.

The official brand has actively monitored unauthorized listings and is committed to raising awareness about the potential risks associated with purchasing from unknown third-party vendors.

While some unauthorized sellers may present ProDentim as genuine, discrepancies in packaging, ingredients, and descriptions have raised red flags. Some consumers have reported receiving products that appear different from what is shown on official materials, while others have struggled with returns and refund processes due to unclear seller policies.

Customer Complaints Highlight Need for Greater Awareness

Consumer reports received by the official ProDentim brand have included concerns such as:

●     Product inconsistencies – Some customers noted that the labeling, logo placement, or product descriptions did not match official representations.

●     Ingredient discrepancies – While the core formulation of ProDentim remains proprietary, there have been concerns about whether third-party products match the expected ingredient profile.

●     Unclear storage conditions – Customers have questioned whether ProDentim’s third-party resellers handle and store the product correctly, as dietary supplements require specific conditions to maintain quality.

●     Limited customer support – Many individuals who purchased ProDentim from non-official sources found that customer service inquiries went unanswered, leaving them unable to address concerns or seek refunds.

A spokesperson for the official ProDentim brand commented:
 “We take product integrity seriously and are committed to ensuring that consumers receive only authentic formulations. Unfortunately, unauthorized sellers sometimes misrepresent products, leading to confusion. We encourage customers to remain vigilant when verifying sources.”

The Rise of Unauthorized ProDentim Supplement Sellers

Unauthorized supplement resellers have become a growing issue across various e-commerce platforms, social media marketplaces, and third-party retail websites. Many third-party sellers attempt to capitalize on ProDentim’s demand, sometimes presenting products at unrealistic discounts or listing them in ways that do not align with official brand communications.

This trend has led to several industry-wide concerns, including:

●     Unverified product origins – Some sellers source products through unauthorized means, making it difficult for consumers to determine where and how the product was handled before purchase.

●     Potential product substitutions – In some cases, third-party vendors list a product under a brand name, ProDentim, for instance, but ship alternative formulations or lookalike substitutes.

●     Misleading discount strategies – Some resellers attempt to lure in customers with extremely low prices, which can indicate unverified stock or repackaged items.

While ProDentim’s official brand is actively monitoring unauthorized sales, the company emphasizes that consumers should take proactive steps to avoid misleading listings.

How Consumers Can Identify Official Product Sources

Consumers can take several steps to avoid misleading third-party listings and ensure they are purchasing authentic products. It is important to examine product details carefully, checking for inconsistencies in labeling, packaging, or branding that may indicate a non-official ProDentim version. Pricing should also be reviewed with caution, as significantly lower prices than usual may suggest an unauthorized seller. Verifying the legitimacy of the seller by researching whether they are recognized as an authorized distributor can help prevent confusion. Lastly, consumers are encouraged to confirm product details through official channels to ensure accuracy and authenticity.

Company Response & Consumer Safety Commitment

The official ProDentim Brand has reaffirmed its commitment to consumer safety, product integrity, and transparency. With the increase in unauthorized sales, the company remains focused on educating customers about product authenticity.

“We are committed to making sure that individuals who seek out ProDentim receive the correct formulation as originally designed. By raising awareness about misleading third-party listings, we hope to prevent unnecessary confusion and ensure a positive customer experience,” the spokesperson added.

Additionally, the company is actively monitoring third-party sales channels and taking steps to minimize unauthorized ProDentim product listings that could misrepresent the brand.

Final Advisory for Consumers

With misleading third-party listings continuing to appear across various online marketplaces, consumers are encouraged to be diligent in verifying sources before making a purchase. The official ProDentim brand has issued this advisory to help prevent further confusion and misinformation.

For updates regarding product authenticity and verification measures, consumers can refer to official sources.
