COL was awarded this certification by SGS Lanka, the Sri Lankan division of SGS, a global leader for inspection, verification, testing and certification.

“Patient safety is of paramount concern to COL and we are committed to providing innovative, easy-to-use medicinal gas solutions with the highest levels of purity. This multi-site certification is a testament to COL’s strict adherence to global healthcare standards, and the stringent manufacturing and operations processes at our world class air separation unit (ASU) plant in Sapugaskanda and production and distribution site in Colombo,” Daluwatte added.
