Adopting ISO 13485 provides a practical foundation for manufacturers to address the EU Medical Device Directive (MDD), the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), and other regulations, as well as demonstrating a commitment to the safety and quality of medical devices.

Together, these define the overall scope and implementation of the Quality Management System.

Among the additions to this update are included: a focus on risk, clarification of management responsibilities, clarification of training responsibilities, improvement to the facility requirements, better alignment of design and development requirements to many regulations, more emphasis on control of suppliers, requirements for traceability procedures, addition of complaint handling, and enhancement of product cleanliness requirements.

ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS), which is published by ISO (the International Organization for Standardization).

Its requirements are recognized around the world as an acceptable basis for implementing a QMS.

Although the ISO 13485:2016 standard came out after the major update of ISO 9001:2015, the ISO 13485 standard does not align with this new revision of ISO 9001.

Instead, it was determined that the most recent changes in ISO 9001:2015 were not necessary for medical devices.

Requirements of ISO 13485:2016 are applicable to organizations regardless of their size and regardless of their type, except where explicitly stated.

Wherever requirements are specified as applying to medical devices, the requirements apply equally to associated services supplied by the organization.

It includes the requirements for the Quality Manual, Control of Documents, and Control of Records, all of which are required documents in the QMS.

This section includes requirements on planning, product requirements review, design, purchasing, creating the product or service, and controlling the equipment used to monitor and measure the product or service.

ISO 13485 allows for requirements in the section to be excluded if they are not applicable to the company (such as a company that does not design products or services).

It includes assessing customer satisfaction, internal audits, monitoring products and processes, dealing with non-conforming product, and corrective and preventive actions.

The ISO standard includes all of the requirements that are needed to create a QMS to demonstrate your ability to provide medical devices that consistently meet the requirements of customers and regulators.

The requirements of these two standards are identical, and the entirety of the ISO 13485:2016 standard is included in the EN ISO 13485:2016 document.

However, the European version of the standard (EN ISO 13485) also includes several invaluable tables that align the ISO 13485:2016 requirements to the three EU directives for medical devices (EU directive 90385EEC, EU directive 9342EEC, and EU directive 9879EC).

This makes it easy to see how implementing the ISO 13485:2016 standard will help you to meet these particular EU directives.

So, while ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized standard for any organization in any industry, the ISO 13485 standard includes additional requirements that are specific for companies that manufacture ISO medical devices.

Some additional requirements of ISO 13485 for ISO medical devices include.

However, as the changes made to the ISO 9001 standard were not seen as appropriate for the medical device industry, the ISO 13485 standard was not updated to align with these new ISO 9001:2015 requirements and has remained to be based on the ISO 9001:2008 standard.
