Verlab (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Verlab (Verifikacioni Laboratorij) is a Bosnia and Herzegovina company based in Sarajevo that operates as an accredited inspection body for medical devices. According to its official website, the organization exists to ensure that medical technology is safe, reliable and compliant with regulatory requirements. Its core activity is the independent inspection and verification of medical devices, checking safety, performance and conformity with applicable standards and regulations, with a stated focus on patient protection and system reliability. Verlab states that it operates as an accredited inspection body in accordance with the ISO/IEC 17020 standard, conducting inspections independently, impartially and in line with applicable regulations. Beyond inspection, Verlab offers a structured framework for the systemic development and implementation of medical technology management. This includes digital systems for managing medical equipment, analytics and advanced solutions, and a structured method for transforming medical technology management into an operational and measurable system. The company combines regulatory requirements, technical standards and organizational processes into a single framework that can be implemented and scaled. Its service model is organized into phases such as system analysis, model design, and implementation and training, and it develops and implements information systems for recording, tracking and managing the lifecycle of medical devices. Verlab's history, as described on its website, begins in 2014, when it was founded as a company focused on technical testing and analysis of medical devices with a measurement function. A laboratory for the verification of medical devices with a measurement function was established and appointed by the competent institutions in accordance with applicable legislation. The company achieved its first accreditation under the international ISO/IEC 17020 standard in the field of medical devices with a measurement function, after which the scope of accreditation was continuously expanded. From 2016 onward, the period was marked by systematic development of methodologies, expansion of the accredited scope and active contribution to the scientific and professional community. Continuous research work resulted in a series of publications, including internationally recognized guidelines in the field of medical technology management. In 2020, aware of the importance of science and technological development, Verlab launched a research center aimed at developing methodologies and improving approaches in the inspection and supervision of medical devices. In March 2022, these activities resulted in the establishment of an independent scientific research institute in the field of biomedical engineering. The institute operates as a separate legal entity and is organizationally separated from inspection activities, ensuring the preservation of impartiality and independence in accordance with the requirements for a type A inspection body. The research and development work culminated in cooperation with the World Health Organization, which in 2025 published a guide for medical technology management. Verlab also participates in the European Digital Innovation Hub (eDIH) consortium and actively contributes to the digital transformation of the health sector. The company states that it grows together with its clients and highlights values of integrity, excellence and innovation.
