FAQ ISO 13485
ISO 13485 is an international standard for quality management systems applied to medical devices and sets specific requirements to help organizations respond consistently to applicable customer and regulatory requirements.
This applies in particular to bodies involved in the design, production, installation and services associated with medical devices, as well as to certain suppliers and external parts related to the quality system.
ISO 9001 is a generalist. ISO 13485 is specific to medical devices and places greater emphasis on regulatory requirements, risk management and effective process validation.
Yes. ISO indicates that the 2016 edition was reviewed and confirmed in 2025; therefore, it remains the current published edition.
Non. La certification peut soutenir la démonstration d'un système qualité structuré, mais les exigences réglementaires et d'accès au marché doivent être vérifiées pour chaque juridiction et chaque dispositif.
The delay depends in particular on the scope, the activities, the level of maturity of the system, the number of sites and the preparation of the organization. No generic time limit is guaranteed here.
