Implant Sciences Recommended for Registration to ISO 9001:2008 and 14001:2004 International Standards

WILMINGTON, Mass., May 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Implant Sciences Corporation (OTCQB: IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, today announced the Company has completed the final registration audits with a global certification body with international recognition and has been recommended for registration to ISO 9001:2008 and 14001:2004 standards. Certificates for both standards will be awarded to the Company.

ISO 9001 is a quality management standard, developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a worldwide federation of national standards bodies. ISO 14001 is an Environmental Management System (EMS) developed by ISO, promoting requirements that achieve and demonstrate sound environmental policies.

In receiving these recommendations, Implant Sciences has demonstrated that it has successfully met the customer, statutory, and regulatory requirements as defined in the ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS) and the Environmental Standards requirements of ISO 14001, ensuring compliance with local, federal and international legal and other requirements.

In 2013, Implant Sciences moved into its expanded, state-of-the-art 58,000 square foot manufacturing facility. The Company's explosives trace detection products manufactured at the facility have received certifications and approvals from numerous regulatory agencies including the U.S. Transportation and Security Administration, STAC in France, the German Ministry of the Interior, and the Ministry of Public Safety in China.

"Meeting the requirements for these ISO certifications further validates our commitment to the highest quality manufacturing standards, while also being responsible for our environment. Our global customer base is well aware of the high-performance and quality of our products. As we receive our ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 registrations, our customers will also be assured of the quality practices we maintain as we manufacture our products in Massachusetts," stated Implant Sciences' President and CEO, Glenn D. Bolduc.

"Our team completed a several month long process that included a stringent audit of management practices and process reviews. We are pleased that we've met the requirements and expect to receive our registration certificate shortly," added Dr. Bill McGann, Implant Sciences' Chief Operating Officer.
