ISO 13485:2016 is a globally recognized standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS) in the medical device industry, suitable for organizations of all sizes involved in the design, production, and servicing of medical devices. It provides a structured framework to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a QMS that ensures consistent delivery of safe and effective medical devices aligned with regulatory and customer requirements. Based on industry best practices, ISO 13485 supports risk management, process control, and regulatory compliance throughout the product lifecycle.
The latest version emphasizes risk-based thinking and proactive quality assurance to identify and mitigate potential issues before they affect product safety or performance. It promotes continual improvement, objective measurement, and effective documentation. Structured according to ISO’s High Level Structure (HLS), ISO 13485 is designed for seamless integration with other management systems such as ISO 9001, ISO 14971, and ISO 27001, enabling organizations to adopt a unified, strategic approach to quality, compliance, and operational excellence.
