ISO 13485
What ISO 13485 is, and who needs it
ISO 13485 is the quality management standard for organisations involved with medical devices. It shares a foundation with ISO 9001 but the emphasis is different: where ISO 9001 drives customer satisfaction, ISO 13485 is built around meeting regulatory requirements and keeping devices consistently safe and fit for purpose.
The essentials
What the standard asks of you
Regulatory-first by design
Written so that a conforming system supports the regulatory obligations that apply to medical devices, rather than treating them as an add-on.
Risk across the lifecycle
Risk management runs through design, production, servicing and post-market activity - not as a one-off assessment at the start.
Design and development controls
Formal control of design inputs, outputs, review, verification, validation and changes, with records to evidence each stage.
Traceability and records
Strong requirements for identification, traceability and record retention, so a device can be traced and its history reconstructed.
Applies beyond manufacturers
Relevant to suppliers and service providers across the device lifecycle - components, sterilisation, contract manufacturing, distribution and servicing.
Opens regulated markets
Widely expected by regulators, distributors and purchasers, and often a practical prerequisite for selling into regulated markets.
