ISO 13485: 2016 - Medical devices Quality management systems
What is ISO 13485:2016?
ISO 13485: 2016 (Medical devices Quality management systems Requirements for regulatory purposes) is an ISO standard that represents the requirements for a comprehensive quality management system for the design and manufacture of medical devices. Though it is tailored to the industry quality system expectations and regulatory requirements, an organization does not need to be actively manufacturing medical devices or their components to seek certification to this standard. ISO 13485: 2016 applies to design, development, production, installation and servicing of medical devices. Compliance is a measure of your ability to meet customer and legal requirements.
