ISO 13485
Medical devices - Quality Management Systems - Requirements for Regulatory Purposes
EN ISO 13485:2003 is the current European Medical Device Quality System Standard, published July 24, 2003. This standard will replace current harmonized standards
EN ISO 13485:2000 and EN ISO 13488:2000 with a three-year transition period ending July, 2006.
This international standard specifies requirements for a Quality Management System where an organization must demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices and related services.
The primary objective of this standard is to facilitate harmonized medical device regulatory requirements for Quality Management Systems. It includes some particular requirements for medical devices and excludes some of the requirements of ISO 9001 that are not appropriate as regulatory requirements.
Organizations that comply with ISO 13485 cannot claim conformity to ISO 9001, unless their system complies fully with the requirements of ISO 9001.
