Medical Devices Management System

ISO 13485 – Medical Devices Quality Management System

ISO 13485 is an internationally recognized standard that outlines the requirements for a quality management system (QMS) specific to the medical devices and pharmaceutical industry. It applies to organizations involved at any stage of the supply chain — from design and development to production, installation, and servicing of medical devices.

The standard supports global harmonization of regulatory requirements, incorporating additional criteria such as risk management, sterile manufacturing processes, and enhanced documentation and record control.

Organizations can pursue ISO 13485 certification independently or in conjunction with ISO 9001. Certification through FS Certifications demonstrates your company’s commitment to consistently delivering safe, effective products and services that meet both customer expectations and regulatory obligations in the medical field.
