ISO 13485 is a quality management system established for the medical device industry. It helps medical device manufacturers establish standardized processes within the factory. ISO 13485 is an independent standard that includes the various standards of ISO 9001, plus other industry-specific medical device requirements.
Not only do TFDA and the US FDA require medical device production lines to have management systems similar to ISO 13485, but in the EU Medical Devices CE Mark Certification (MDR (EU) 2017/745 CE), although obtaining ISO 13485 certification is not a necessary condition for obtaining the CE mark for medical devices under the EU Medical Devices Directive, it is still recognized as a unified standard in the EU. Therefore, if ISO 13485 is met, it is presumed to have met the basic quality assurance requirements of the EU CE mark (but other EU regulations should still apply)
