Sahajanand Medical Technologies (SMT) Becomes India’s First Cardiovascular Unit to Achieve ISO 50001 Certification
Sustainability in Healthcare: SMT’s Milestone in Energy Management
In April 2026, Sahajanand Medical Technologies Limited (SMT) achieved a significant milestone by receiving the ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System certification. With this, SMT has become the first domestic cardiovascular device manufacturing unit in India to adopt this international energy management standard for its facilities in Surat (Gujarat) and Hyderabad (Telangana).
What is ISO 50001?
ISO 50001 is an international framework that specifies the requirements for establishing and improving an Energy Management System (EnMS). It helps organizations optimize energy use and reduce their environmental footprint.
Key Impact:
- Energy Efficiency: The certification highlights SMT's commitment to optimizing energy consumption in high-tech medical manufacturing.
- Environmental Responsibility: By integrating sustainable practices, SMT aims to lower carbon emissions while maintaining stringent quality standards for life-saving cardiovascular devices.
- Global Standards: This move enhances SMT’s capability to monitor energy performance across its ecosystem, setting a benchmark for the Indian medical device industry.
For Pharmacy (D.Pharm) and Science aspirants, this is a key update under 'Medical Technology and Industrial Standards,' showcasing the integration of sustainability in the healthcare supply chain.
