ISO 13485 – Medical Devices Quality Management System

Ensure Safety. Enhance Quality. Achieve Compliance.

ISO 13485 is the internationally recognized standard that outlines the requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS) specific to the medical devices industry. It is designed to help organizations consistently meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations related to the design, production, installation, and servicing of medical devices and related services.

Whether you’re a manufacturer, supplier, or distributor in the medical device industry, ISO 13485 certification demonstrates your commitment to quality, safety, and compliance with global health standards.

What Is ISO 13485?

ISO 13485 is based on the structure of ISO 9001 but includes additional, sector-specific requirements for medical devices. It emphasizes risk management, product traceability, regulatory compliance, and documentation control throughout the product lifecycle—from design and development to production, distribution, and post-market activities.

This standard is often required for organizations looking to enter or expand into global medical device markets, including Europe, Canada, and other regions with strict regulatory frameworks.
