ISO 13485 Certification

ISO 13485 certification is a globally-recognized quality management system standard that provides guidance for medical device manufacturers. To achieve ISO 13485 certification, a manufacturer must demonstrate that they have implemented an effective quality management system that meets the requirements of the standard.

Many medical device manufacturers choose to pursue ISO 13485 certification in order to demonstrate their commitments to high-quality medical device production, patient safety, and product reliability.

ISO 13485 certification can also help manufacturers streamline operations and gain access to new markets.

The ISO 13485 standard is used in the European Union (EU) and other international regions under The Medical Devices Directive (93/42/EEC), which provides a common framework for the regulation of medical devices within countries that are members of the EU. Although the Medical Devices Directive stipulates that manufacturers of medical devices must be ISO 13485 certified, not all countries require ISO 13485 certification for companies that wish to market their products within their borders.
