What is ISO 13485 Certification?
ISO 13485 is the internationally recognized quality management system (QMS) standard for the medical device sector. The current edition, ISO 13485:2016, sets out a framework for managing the processes and resources needed to design, manufacture, and distribute medical devices that meet customer and applicable regulatory requirements.
