ISO 13485:2016 · MDQMS

Medical Devices Quality Management Systems

A stand-alone quality management standard designed for regulatory compliance in medical device manufacturing.

About ISO 13485:2016

ISO 13485 adapts the process-based model of the ISO 9000 series for the regulated medical device environment.

While based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act model, it is more prescriptive than ISO 9001 and requires a more thoroughly documented quality management system.
