Medical devices - Quality management systems - Requirements for regulatory purposes (ISO 13485:2016)

EN ISO 13485 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and applicable regulatory requirements. Such organizations can be involved in one or more stages of the life-cycle, including design and development, production, storage and distribution, installation, or servicing of a medical device and design and development or provision of associated activities (e.g. technical support). This International Standard can also be used by suppliers or external parties that provide product, including quality management system-related services to such organizations. Requirements of this International Standard are applicable to organizations regardless of their size and regardless of their type except where explicitly stated. Wherever requirements are specified as applying to medical devices, the requirements apply equally to associated services as supplied by the organization. The processes required by this International Standard that are applicable to the organization, but are not performed by the organization, are the responsibility of the organization and are accounted for in the organization’s quality management system by monitoring, maintaining, and controlling the processes. If applicable regulatory requirements permit exclusions of design and development controls, this can be used as a justification for their exclusion from the quality management system. These regulatory requirements can provide alternative approaches that are to be addressed in the quality management system. It is the responsibility of the organization to ensure that claims of conformity to this International Standard reflect any exclusion of design and development controls. If any requirement in Clauses 6, 7 or 8 of this International Standard is not applicable due to the activities undertaken by the organization or the nature of the medical device for which the quality management system is applied, the organization does not need to include such a requirement in its quality management system. For any clause that is determined to be not applicable, the organization records the justification as described in 4.2.2.

Medizinprodukte - Qualitätsmanagementsysteme - Anforderungen für regulatorische Zwecke (ISO 13485:2016)

Diese Internationale Norm legt Anforderungen an ein Qualitätsmanagementsystem fest, das durch eine Organisation angewendet werden kann, die an einer oder mehreren Stufen des Lebenszyklus eines Medizinprodukts beteiligt ist, einschließlich Entwicklung, Produktion, Lagerung und Vertrieb, Installation, Instandhaltung und endgültige Außerbetriebnahme und Entsorgung von Medizinprodukten sowie Entwicklung oder Bereitstellung von damit zusammenhängenden Tätigkeiten (z. B. technischer Support). Die Anforderungen nach dieser Internationalen Norm können auch von Lieferanten oder anderen externen Parteien angewendet werden, die Produkte (z. B. Rohstoffe, Bauteile, Baugruppen, Medizinprodukte, Sterilisationsdienstleistungen, Kalibrierdienstleistungen, Vertriebsdienstleistungen, Instandhaltungsdienstleistungen) für derartige Organisationen bereitstellen. Der Lieferant oder die externe Partei kann die Anforderungen dieser Internationalen Norm entweder freiwillig erfüllen oder kann vertraglich dazu aufgefordert werden.
In verschiedenen Zuständigkeitsbereichen gelten regulatorische Anforderungen an die Anwendung von Qualitätsmanagementsystemen durch Organisationen mit unterschiedlichen Rollen in der Lieferkette für Medizinprodukte. Aus diesem Grund erwartet diese Internationale Norm von der Organisation, dass
—   sie ihre Rolle(n) unter anwendbaren regulatorischen Anforderungen identifiziert;
—   sie die regulatorischen Anforderungen identifiziert, die für ihre Tätigkeiten unter diesen Rollen gelten;
—   sie diese anwendbaren regulatorischen Anforderungen in ihr Qualitätsmanagementsystem einbindet.

Dispositifs médicaux - Systèmes de management de la qualité - Exigences à des fins réglementaires (ISO 13485:2016)

L'ISO 13485:2016 énonce les exigences relatives au système de management de la qualité lorsqu'un organisme doit démontrer son aptitude à fournir régulièrement des dispositifs médicaux et des services associés conformes aux exigences des clients et aux exigences réglementaires applicables. Ces organismes peuvent être impliqués dans une ou plusieurs étapes du cycle de vie incluant la conception et le développement, la production, le stockage et la distribution, l'installation ou les prestations associées d'un dispositif médical, ainsi que la conception, le développement ou la prestation d'activités associées (par exemple support technique). L'ISO 13485:2016 peut également être utilisée par les fournisseurs ou les parties externes qui fournissent des produits, notamment des services associés au système de management de la qualité à de tels organismes.
Les exigences de L'ISO 13485:2016 s'appliquent aux organismes, indépendamment de leur taille ou de leur nature, à l'exception des cas où cela est clairement indiqué. Lorsque les exigences s'appliquent effectivement aux dispositifs médicaux, elles s'appliquent également aux services associés fournis par l'organisme.
Les processus requis par l'ISO 13485:2016, qui sont applicables à l'organisme, mais non mis en ?uvre par celui-ci, relèvent de la responsabilité de ce dernier qui en tient compte dans son système de management de la qualité en surveillant, en tenant à jour et en maîtrisant les processus.
Le fait que des exigences réglementaires applicables autorisent l'exclusion des systèmes de contrôle de conception et de développement peut servir à justifier leur exclusion du système de management de la qualité. Ces exigences réglementaires peuvent prévoir d'autres approches qu'il faut appliquer dans le système de management de la qualité. Il incombe à l'organisme de s'assurer que ses demandes de conformité à l'ISO 13485:2016 correspondent à toute exclusion des systèmes de contrôle de conception et de développement.
Lorsqu'une exigence définie à l'Article 6, 7 ou 8 de l'ISO 13485:2016 ne peut être appliquée en raison des activités entreprises par l'organisme ou de la nature du dispositif médical auquel s'applique le système de management de la qualité, l'organisme n'est pas tenu d'inclure cette exigence dans son système de management de la qualité. Pour les paragraphes apparaissant comme non applicables, l'organisme enregistre la justification comme cela est décrit en 4.2.2.

Medicinski pripomočki - Sistemi vodenja kakovosti - Zahteve za zakonodajne namene (ISO 13485:2016)

Standard EN ISO 13485 določa zahteve za sisteme vodenja kakovosti v primerih, ko mora organizacija izkazati svojo zmožnost dobave medicinskih pripomočkov in povezanih storitev, ki dosledno izpolnjujejo zahteve strank ter zadevne zakonodajne zahteve. Takšne organizacije so lahko vključene v eno ali več faz življenjskega cikla, vključno z načrtovanjem in razvojem, proizvodnjo, skladiščenjem in dobavo, namestitvijo ali servisiranjem medicinskega pripomočka ter z načrtovanjem in razvojem ali zagotavljanjem s tem povezanih dejavnosti (npr. tehnična podpora). Ta mednarodni standard lahko uporabljajo tudi dobavitelji ali zunanje stranke, ki dobavljajo izdelek, vključno s storitvami sistema vodenja kakovosti, povezanimi s takšnimi organizacijami. Zahteve tega mednarodnega standarda veljajo za organizacije ne glede na njihovo velikost ali vrsto, razen kadar je to izrecno navedeno. Kadar je navedeno, da se zahteve nanašajo na medicinske pripomočke, te enakovredno veljajo tudi za z njimi povezane storitve, ki jih zagotavlja organizacija. Postopki, ki jih ta mednarodni standard zahteva in ki se uporabljajo za organizacijo, vendar jih organizacija ne izvaja, so odgovornost organizacije in so opisani v sistemu vodenja kakovosti organizacije v okviru spremljanja, vzdrževanja in nadzora procesov. Če zadevne zakonodajne zahteve omogočajo izključitve kontrol zasnove in razvoja, se lahko to uporabi kot utemeljitev za njihovo izključitev iz sistema vodenja kakovosti. Te zakonodajne zahteve lahko zagotovijo nadomestne ureditve, ki se morajo obravnavati v sistemu vodenja kakovosti. Organizacija mora zagotoviti, da sklicevanje na skladnost s tem mednarodnim standardom odraža morebitno izključitev kontrol zasnove in razvoja. Če se katera koli zahteva v točkah 6, 7 ali 8 tega mednarodnega standarda ne uporablja zaradi dejavnosti, ki jih izvaja organizacija, ali narave medicinskega pripomočka, za katerega se uporablja sistem vodenja kakovosti, organizaciji takšne zahteve ni treba vključiti v svoj sistem vodenja kakovosti. Za vse točke, za katere se ugotovi, da se ne uporabljajo, organizacija zabeleži utemeljitev, kot je opisano v razdelku 4.2.2.

EN ISO 13485:2016 (E)
Annex ZA
(informative)

Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential
Requirements of EU Directive 90/385/EEC (as amended)
ZA.0 General
This European standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardisation request M/023 to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to requirements of Council Directive of 20 June 1990 on the
approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to active implantable medical devices [OJ L
189].
Once this European Standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under Directive
90/385/EEC (as amended) and has been implemented as a national standard in at least one Member
State, compliance with the normative clauses of this European Standard given in Table ZA.1 or
Table ZA.2 confer, within the limits of the scope of this European Standard, a presumption of conformity
with the requirements on a manufacturer’s quality system as given in Annexes 2 and 5 of that Directive
and associated EFTA regulations. This Annex ZA explains to which requirements, under which
conditions and to what extent presumption of conformity can be claimed.
EN ISO 13485:2016 provides requirements for a quality system applicable to medical devices. Because
this standard describes a quality system that is connected in part or in whole to the conformity
assessment requirements of 90/385/EEC (as amended), it is not meaningful to link individual clauses of
the standard to specific Essential Requirements. Compliance with all the normative clauses in EN
ISO 13485 will ensure that a process is in place to address quality system aspects related to medical
devices, which are included in the conformity assessment annexes of the Directive. However, because
this is an adoption of an international standard, intended to be applicable in jurisdictions all over the
world, it is not the primary goal of the standard to cover exactly the European quality system
requirements. Therefore, for all of the quality system requirements, conformity is not entirely achieved
by complying only with the requirements specified in this standard. Manufacturers and conformity
assessment bodies will need to feed the quality system requirements in the applicable Annex of the
Directive into the processes provided by the standard. Explanation on the correspondence of the
standard and the requirements of the Directive is included in Tables ZA.1 and ZA.2.
The Conformity Assessment Annexes 2 and 5 of the Directive include description of the regulatory
process and activities undertaken by the Notified Body, which both are outside of the scope of this
European Standard and therefore not covered by this European Standard. Furthermore, the
requirements of the Directive refer to an application to a Notified Body, not to the requirement for a
quality system as such. Accordingly, coverage of legal requirements can only be presumed to the extent
listed in Tables ZA.1 and ZA.2 in an application to a Notified Body:
— contains the necessary quality system documentation;
— has been reviewed and approved by a Notified Body,
and the undertakings listed in the application are correctly executed by the manufacturer.
NOTE 1 Where a reference from a clause of this European Standard to the risk management process is made,
the risk management process needs to be in compliance with Directive 98/79/EC, as amended by 2007/47/EC.
This means that risks have to be reduced ‘as far as possible’, ‘to a minimum’, ‘to the lowest possible level’,
‘minimized’ or ‘removed’, according to the wording of the corresponding essential requirement.

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 13485:2016
EN ISO 13485:2016 (E)
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with essential
requirements 1, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10 of the Directive. See EN ISO 14971, Annex ZB for the interpretation of this
expression in the light of the EU Directive.
NOTE 3 This Annex ZA is based on normative references according to the table of references in the European
foreword, replacing the references in the core text.
NOTE 4 When a requirement does not appear in Table ZA.1 or ZA.2, it means that it is not addressed by this
European Standard.
NOTE 5 This annex uses the term “quality system” as used in the Directive whereas this European Standard
uses the term “quality management system” in accordance with ISO terminology.
ZA.1 Relationship with Annex 2 of Directive 90/385/EEC (as amended)
Compliance with this European Standard does not provide presumption of conformity with all the
aspects of Annex 2, as outlined in Table ZA.1. Therefore, a manufacturer or a Notified Body has to take
additional provisions to ensure conformity, and claim or certify conformance, with Annex 2 of this
Directive. The legal requirements must be examined, applied and verified one by one and the solutions
adopted must become part of the quality system in the meaning of the Directive.

Annex ZB
(informative)

Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential
Requirements of EU Directive 93/42/EEC (as amended)
ZB.0 General
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission's standardization request M/023 to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to requirements of Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June
1993 concerning medical devices [OJ L 169].
Once this European Standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under Directive
93/42/EEC (as amended) and has been implemented as a national standard in at least one Member
State, compliance with the normative clauses of this European Standard given in Tables ZB.1, ZB.2 and
ZB.3 confer, within the limits of the scope of this European Standard, a presumption of conformity with
the requirements on a manufacturer’s quality system as given in Annexes II, V and VI of that Directive
and associated EFTA regulations. This Annex ZB explains to which requirements, under which
conditions and to what extent presumption of conformity can be claimed.
EN ISO 13485:2016 provides requirements for a quality system applicable to medical devices. Because
this standard describes a quality system that is connected in part or in whole to the conformity
assessment requirements of 93/42/EEC (as amended), it is not meaningful to link individual clauses of
the standard to specific Essential Requirements. Compliance with all the normative clauses in EN
ISO 13485 will ensure that a process is in place to address quality system aspects related to medical
devices, which are included in the conformity assessment annexes of the Directive. However, because
this is an adoption of an international standard, intended to be applicable in jurisdictions all over the
world, it is not the primary goal of the standard to cover exactly the European quality system
requirements. Therefore, for all of the quality system requirements, conformity is not entirely achieved
by complying only with the requirements specified in this standard. Manufacturers and conformity
assessment bodies will need to feed the quality system requirements in the applicable Annex of the
Directive into the processes provided by the standard. Explanation on the correspondence of the
standard and the requirements of the Directive is included in Tables ZB.1, ZB.2 and ZB.3.
The Conformity Assessment Annexes II, V and VI of the Directive include description of the regulatory
process and activities undertaken by the Notified Body, which both are outside of the scope of this
European Standard and therefore not covered by this European Standard. Furthermore, the
requirements of the Directive refer to an application to a Notified Body, not to the requirement for a
quality system as such. Accordingly, coverage of legal requirements can only be presumed to the extent
listed in Tables ZB.1, ZB.2 and ZB.3 in an application to a Notified Body:
— contains the necessary quality system documentation;
— has been reviewed and approved by a Notified Body,
and the undertakings listed in the application are correctly executed by the manufacturer.
NOTE 1 Where a reference from a clause of this European Standard to the risk management process is made,
the risk management process needs to be in compliance with Directive 93/42/EEC, as amended by 2007/47/EC.
This means that risks have to be reduced ‘as far as possible’, ‘to a minimum’, ‘to the lowest possible level’,
‘minimized’ or ‘removed’, according to the wording of the corresponding essential requirement.
10

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 13485:2016
EN ISO 13485:2016 (E)
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with essential
requirements 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the Directive. See EN ISO 14971, Annex ZA for the interpretation of this
expression in the light of the EU Directive.
NOTE 3 This Annex ZB is based on normative references according to the table of references in the European
foreword, replacing the references in the core text.
NOTE 4 When a requirement does not appear in Table ZB.1, ZB.2 or ZB.3, it means that it is not addressed by
this European Standard.
NOTE 5 This annex uses the term “quality system” as used in the Directive whereas this European Standard
uses the term “quality management system” in accordance with ISO terminology.
ZB.1 Relationship with Annex II of Directive 93/42/EEC (as amended)
Compliance with this European Standard does not provide a presumption of conformity with all the
aspects of Annex II, as outlined in Table ZB.1. Therefore, a manufacturer or a Notified Body has to take
additional provisions to ensure conformity, and claim or certify conformance, with Annex II of this
Directive. The legal requirements must be examined, applied and verified one by one and the solutions
adopted must become part of the quality system in the meaning of the Directive.

Vorwort
ISO (die Internationale Organisation für Normung) ist eine weltweite Vereinigung von Nationalen
Normungsorganisationen (ISO-Mitgliedsorganisationen). Die Erstellung von Internationalen Normen wird
normalerweise von ISO Technischen Komitees durchgeführt. Jede Mitgliedsorganisation, die Interesse an
einem Thema hat, für welches ein Technisches Komitee gegründet wurde, hat das Recht, in diesem Komitee
vertreten zu sein. Internationale Organisationen, staatlich und nicht-staatlich, in Liaison mit ISO, nehmen
ebenfalls an der Arbeit teil. ISO arbeitet eng mit der Internationalen Elektrotechnischen Kommission (IEC)
bei allen elektrotechnischen Themen zusammen.
Die Verfahren, die bei der Entwicklung dieses Dokuments angewendet wurden und die für die weitere Pflege
vorgesehen sind, werden in den ISO/IEC-Direktiven, Teil 1 beschrieben. Im Besonderen sollten die für die
verschiedenen ISO-Dokumentenarten notwendigen Annahmekriterien beachtet werden. Dieses Dokument
wurde in Übereinstimmung mit den Gestaltungsregeln der ISO/IEC-Direktiven, Teil 2 erarbeitet (siehe
www.iso.org/directives).

Einleitung
0.1 Allgemeines
Diese Internationale Norm legt Anforderungen an ein Qualitätsmanagementsystem fest, das durch eine
Organisation angewendet werden kann, die an einer oder mehreren Stufen des Lebenszyklus eines
Medizinprodukts beteiligt ist, einschließlich Entwicklung, Produktion, Lagerung und Vertrieb, Installation,
Instandhaltung und endgültige Außerbetriebnahme und Entsorgung von Medizinprodukten sowie
Entwicklung oder Bereitstellung von damit zusammenhängenden Tätigkeiten (z. B. technischer Support). Die
Anforderungen nach dieser Internationalen Norm können auch von Lieferanten oder anderen externen
Parteien angewendet werden, die Produkte (z. B. Rohstoffe, Bauteile, Baugruppen, Medizinprodukte,
Sterilisationsdienstleistungen, Kalibrierdienstleistungen, Vertriebsdienstleistungen,
Instandhaltungsdienstleistungen) für derartige Organisationen bereitstellen. Der Lieferant oder die externe
Partei kann die Anforderungen dieser Internationalen Norm entweder freiwillig erfüllen oder kann
vertraglich dazu aufgefordert werden.
In verschiedenen Zuständigkeitsbereichen gelten regulatorische Anforderungen an die Anwendung von
Qualitätsmanagementsystemen durch Organisationen mit unterschiedlichen Rollen in der Lieferkette für
Medizinprodukte. Aus diesem Grund erwartet diese Internationale Norm von der Organisation, dass
— sie ihre Rolle(n) unter anwendbaren regulatorischen Anforderungen identifiziert;
— sie die regulatorischen Anforderungen identifiziert, die für ihre Tätigkeiten unter diesen Rollen
gelten;
— sie diese anwendbaren regulatorischen Anforderungen in ihr Qualitätsmanagementsystem
einbindet.
Die Begriffsbestimmungen in den anwendbaren regulatorischen Anforderungen unterscheiden sich von
Land zu Land und von Region zu Region. Die Organisation muss verstehen, wie die Begriffsbestimmungen in
dieser Internationalen Norm angesichts regulatorischer Begriffsbestimmungen in den
Zuständigkeitsbereichen, in denen die Medizinprodukte verfügbar gemacht werden, zu interpretieren sind.
Diese Internationale Norm kann auch von internen und externen Parteien einschließlich
Zertifizierungsstellen verwendet werden, um die Fähigkeit der Organisation zur Erfüllung von
Kundenanforderungen und regulatorischen Anforderungen, die auf das Qualitätsmanagementsystem
anwendbar sind, sowie die Fähigkeit der Organisation zur Erfüllung der eigenen Anforderungen zu
bewerten. Es wird betont, dass die in dieser Internationalen Norm festgelegten Anforderungen an das
Qualitätsmanagementsystem zusätzlich zu den technischen Anforderungen an Produkte gelten, die
notwendig sind, um die Anforderungen des Kunden und die anwendbaren regulatorischen Anforderungen
an die Sicherheit und Leistung zu erfüllen.
Die Einführung eines Qualitätsmanagementsystems ist eine strategische Entscheidung einer Organisation.
Design und Implementierung des Qualitätsmanagementsystems einer Organisation werden beeinflusst
durch:
a) das Organisationsumfeld, Änderungen in diesem Umfeld und den Einfluss, den das Organisationsumfeld
auf die Konformität der Medizinprodukte hat;
b) die sich verändernd

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national
standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a
technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee.
International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in
the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 13485:2003), which has been technically
revised. Details of the changes between the second and this third edition of this Standard are described
in Annex A.
This edition of ISO 13485 addresses quality assurance of product, customer requirements, and other
elements of quality management systems for regulatory purposes.

0 Introduction
0.1 General
This International Standard specifies requirements for a quality management system that can be used
by an organization involved in one or more stage(s) of the life-cycle of a medical device including the
design and development, production, storage and distribution, installation or servicing of medical
devices, and the design, development, or provision of associated activities (e.g. technical support). The
requirements in this standard may also be used by suppliers or other external parties providing
product (e.g., sterilization services, calibration services, distribution services) to such organizations.
Such a supplier or external party may voluntarily choose to conform to the requirements of this
standard or may be required by contract to conform.
Several jurisdictions have regulatory requirements for the application of quality management systems
by organizations with a variety of roles in the supply chain for medical devices. Consequently, this
standard expects that the organization:
 identifies its role(s) under applicable regulatory requirements,
 identifies the regulatory requirements that are applicable for its activities under these roles, and
 incorporates these applicable regulatory requirements within its quality management system.

ISO DIS 2 13485:2015
This International Standard can also be used by internal and external parties, including certification
bodies, to assess the organization’s ability to meet customer and regulatory requirements applicable to
the quality management system and the organization’s own requirements. It is emphasized that the
quality management system requirements specified in this International Standard are complementary
to the technical requirements for products that are necessary to meet customer and applicable
regulatory requirements for safety and performance.
The adoption of a quality management system is a strategic decision of an organization. The design and
implementation of an organization's quality management system is influenced by:
a) its organizational environment, changes in that environment, and the risks associated with that
environment;
b) its varying needs;
c) its particular objectives;
d) the products it provides;
e) the processes it employs;
f) its size and organizational structure; and
g) applicable regulatory requirements.

It is not the intent of this International Standard to imply uniformity in the structure of quality
management systems or uniformity of documentation.

There is a wide variety of medical devices and some of the particular requirements of this International
Standard only apply to named groups of medical devices. These groups are defined in Clause 3.

0.2 Process approach

This International Standard is based on a process approach to quality management.
Any activity that receives input(s) and converts them to output(s) can be considered as a process. Often
the output from one process directly forms the input to the next process.
For an organization to function effectively, it has to identify and manage numerous linked processes.
The application of a system of processes within an organization, together with the identification and
interactions of these processes, and their management to produce the desired outcome, can be referred
to as the “process approach.”
When used within a quality management system, such an approach emphasizes the importance of:
a) understanding and meeting requirements,
b) considering processes in terms of added value,
c) obtaining results of process performance and effectiveness, and
d) improving processes based on objective measurement.

0.3 Relationship with ISO 9001
While this is a stand-alone standard, it is based on, and follows the format of, ISO 9001:2008 for the
convenience of users in the medical device sector.
0.4 Compatibility with other management systems

This International Standard does not include requirements specific to other management systems, such
as those particular to environmental management, occupational health and safety management, or
financial management. However, this International Standard enables an organization to align or
integrate its own quality management system with related management system requirements. It is
possible for an organization to adapt its existing management system(s) in order to establish a quality
management system that complies with the requirements of this International Standard.

Medical devices – Quality management systems – Requirements
for regulatory purposes
1 Scope
1.1 General
This International Standard specifies requirements for a quality management system that can be used
by an organization involved in one or more stages of the life-cycle including the design and
development, production, storage and distribution, installation, or servicing of a medical device and the
design, development or provision of associated activities (e.g. technical support). The quality
management system of the organization demonstrates the ability to consistently meet customer and
applicable regulatory requirements. It may also be used by suppliers or external parties that provide
goods and quality management system related services to such organizations.
The main objective of this International Standard is to facilitate global alignment of appropriate
regulatory requirements for quality management systems applicable to organizations providing
medical devices. As a result, it includes some particular requirements for medical devices and excludes
some of the requirements of ISO 9001:2008 that are not appropriate as regulatory requirements.
Because of these exclusions, organizations whose quality management systems conform to this
International Standard cannot claim conformity to ISO 9001:2008 unless their quality management
system conforms to all the requirements of ISO 9001:2008.
1.2 Application
All requirements of this International Standard are specific to organizations regardless of their type or
size.
Wherever requirements are specified as applying to medical devices, the requirements apply equally to
associated services as supplied by the organization.

The processes required by this International Standard, which are applicable to the medical device(s),
but which are not performed by the organization, are the responsibility of the organization and are
accounted for in the organization’s quality management system by monitoring, maintaining, and
controlling the processes.
If applicable regulatory requirements permit exclusions of design and development controls, this can be
used as a justification for their exclusion from the quality management system. These regulatory
requirements can provide alternative arrangements that are to be addressed in the quality management
system. It is the responsibility of the organization to ensure that claims of conformity with this
International Standard reflect exclusion of design and development controls.
If any requirement(s) in Clauses 6, 7 or 8 of this International Standard is (are) not applicable due to the
activities undertaken by the organization or the nature of the medical device(s) for which the quality
management system is applied, the organization does not need to include such a requirement(s) in its
quality management system. For the clauses that are determined to be not applicable, the organization
documents justification as described section 4.2.2.
In this International standard the following terms or phases are used in the context described below:

oSIST prEN ISO 13485:2015
ISO DIS2 13485:2015
 When a requirement is qualified by the phrase ‘as appropriate’, it is deemed to be ‘appropriate’
unless the organization can justify otherwise. A requirement is considered ‘appropriate’ if it is
necessary for:
o the product to meet requirements;
o the organization to carry out corrective action; or
o the organization to manage risks.
 When a requirement is required to be ‘documented’, it is also required to be established,
implemented and maintained.
 When the term ‘risk’ is used, the application of the term is within the scope of this International
standard and pertains to:
o the safety or performance requirements or
o meeting applicable regulatory requirements.
 When the term ‘product’ is used, it can also mean ‘service’. Product applies to outputs that are
intended for, or required by, a customer, or any intended output resulting from a product
realization process.
 When the term ‘regulatory requirements’ is used, it encompasses statutory, regulatory and legal
requirements. The application of the term ‘regulatory requirements’ is limited to requirements
for the quality management system and the safety or performance of the medical device.
 Information marked “NOTE” is for guidance in understanding or clarifying the associated
requirement.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13485 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 210, Quality management and corresponding
general aspects for medical devices.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 13485:2003), which has been technically
revised. Details of the changes between the second and this third edition of this Standard are described
in Annex B.
This edition of ISO 13485 addresses quality assurance of product, customer requirements, and other
elements of quality management systems for regulatory purposes.

0 Introduction
0.1 General
This International Standard specifies requirements for a quality management system that can be used by
an organization involved in stages of the life-cycle of a medical device including the design and
development, production, storage and distribution, installation or servicing of medical devices, and the
design, development, and provision of associated activities (e.g., technical support). The requirements in
this standard may also be used by suppliers or other external parties providing goods and services (e.g.,
sterilization services, calibration services, distribution services) to medical device organizations. Such a
supplier or external party may  voluntarily choose to conform to the requirements of this standard or may
be required by contract to conform.
Several jurisdictions have regulatory requirements for the application of quality management systems by
organizations with a variety of roles in the supply chain for medical devices. Consequently, this standard
expects that the organization
 identifies its role(s) under appropriate regulatory requirements,
 identifies the regulatory requirements that are appropriate for its activities under these roles, and
 incorporates these appropriate regulatory requirements within its quality management system.
This International Standard can also be used by internal and external parties, including certification
bodies, to assess the organization’s ability to meet customer and appropriate regulatory requirements
applicable to the quality management system, and the organization’s own requirements. It is emphasized
that the quality management system requirements specified in this International Standard are
complementary to the technical requirements for products that are necessary to meet customer and
appropriate regulatory requirements for safety and performance.
The adoption of a quality management system should be a strategic decision of an organization. The
design and implementation of an organization's quality management system is influenced by
a) its organizational environment, changes in that environment, and the risks associated with that
environment,
b) its varying needs,
c) its particular objectives,
d) the products it provides,
e) the processes it employs,
f) its size and organizational structure, and
g) appropriate regulatory requirements

It is not the intent of this International Standard to imply uniformity in the structure of quality management
systems or uniformity of documentation.
There is a wide variety of medical devices and some of the particular requirements of this International
Standard only apply to named groups of medical devices. These groups are defined in Clause 3.
Information marked “NOTE” is for guidance in understanding or clarifying the associated requirement.

ISO/DIS 13485:2014(E)
NOTE Throughout the text of this International Standard, wherever the term ‘product’ occurs, it can also mean
“service.”
0.2 Process approach
This International Standard is based on a process approach to quality management.
An activity or set of activities using resources, and managed in order to enable the transformation of
inputs into outputs, can be considered as a process. Often the output from one process directly forms the
input to the next.
For an organization to function effectively, it has to identify and manage numerous linked processes. The
application of a system of processes within an organization, together with the identification and
interactions of these processes, and their management to produce the desired outcome, can be referred
to as the “process approach.”
When used within a quality management system, such an approach emphasizes the importance of
a) understanding and meeting requirements,
b) the need to consider processes in terms of added value,
c) obtaining results of process performance and effectiveness, and
d) improvement of processes based on objective measurement.

0.3 Relationship with other standards
0.3.1 Relationship with ISO 9001
While this is a stand-alone standard, it is based on, and follows the format of, ISO 9001:2008 for the
convenience of users in the medical device sector. Annex A shows the correspondence between
ISO 13485:201X and ISO 9001:2008.
Those clauses or subclauses that are quoted directly and unchanged from ISO 9001:2008 are in normal
font. The fact that these subclauses are presented unchanged is noted in Annex A.
Where the text of this International Standard is not identical to the text of ISO 9001:2008, the sentence or
indent containing that text as a whole is shown in italics (in blue italics for electronic versions). The nature
and reasons for the text changes are noted in Annex A.
It is intended to revise ISO/TR 14969 to provide guidance for the application for this version of ISO
13485.
0.4 Compatibility with other management systems
This International Standard does not include requirements specific to other management systems, such
as those particular to environmental management, occupational health and safety management, or
financial management. However, this International Standard enables an organization to align or integrate
its own quality management system with related management system requirements. It is possible for an
organization to adapt its existing management system(s) in order to establish a quality management
system that complies with the requirements of this International Standard.

1 Scope
1.1 General
This Internrnational Stanndard specifies requiremennts for an orgaanization thatt needs to demmonstrate thaat its
quality maanagement syystem has thee ability to maanage the life--cycle of meddical devices and associateed
activities cconsistently too meet custommer and apprropriate regullatory requiremments. It mayy also be usedd by
suppliers or external paarties that proovide goods aand quality syystem related services to mmedical devicee
organizatiions.
The main objective of tthis Internatioonal Standardd is to facilitatee global alignnment of apprropriate regulaatory
requiremeents for qualityty managemeent systems appplicable to oorganizations providing meedical devicess. As
a result, itt includes somme particular requirementss for medical ddevices and eexcludes somme of the
requiremeents of ISO 90001:2008 that are not apprropriate as reegulatory requuirements. Beecause of thesse
exclusionss, organizatioons whose quuality management systemss conform to this Internatioonal Standardd
cannot claaim conformitty to ISO 9001:2008 unlesss their qualityy managemennt systems coonform to all thhe
requiremeents of ISO 90001:2008 (seee Annex A).
NOTES
1) Thhroughout thiss standard, sttatutory, regulaatory and legaal requirementts are encommpassed in thee term
“rregulatory requirements”.
2) Thhroughout the text of this Innternational Staandard, wherever the term ““product” occurrs, it can also mean
“sservice.” The teerm “product” oonly applies to
a)) product intennded for, or reequired by, a customer, or any intended output resultinng from the pproduct
realization pprocesses.
1.2 Application
All requireements of thiss Internationaal Standard arre specific to oorganizationss regardless oof their type oor
size.
Whereverr requirementts are specifieed as applyingg to medical ddevices, the rrequirements apply equallyy to
associated services ass supplied by the organizattion.

The proceesses required by this Interrnational Stanndard, which are applicablle to the mediical device(s), but
which aree not performeed by the orgaanization, aree the responsiibility of the oorganization aand are accouunted
for in the oorganization’ss quality mannagement system by monittoring, maintaaining, and coontrolling the
processess. These proccesses, and thhe responsibiilities of externrnal parties that undertake such processses
on behalff of the organiization, need to be identifieed in the orgaanization’s quaality managemment system. If
the responnsibilities diffefer due to apppropriate natioonal or regionnal regulatory requirementss, the role of eeach
party needs to be clearrly defined in the quality mmanagement ssystem.
If approprriate regulatorry requiremennts permit excclusions of deesign and devvelopment conntrols, this can be
used as aa justification ffor their excluusion from thee quality manaagement systtem. These reegulatory
requiremeents can provvide alternativee arrangemennts that are too be addresseed in the quallity managemment
system. Itt is the responnsibility of thee organizationn to ensure thaat claims of cconformity witth this Internaational
Standard reflect exclussion of designn and developpment controllss.

ISO/DIS 13485:2014(E)
If any requirement(s) in Clauses 6, 7 or 8 of this International Standard is (are) not applicable due to the
activities undertaken by the organization or the nature of the medical device(s) for which the quality
management system is applied, the organization does not need to include such a requirement(s) in its
quality management system.
In this International Standard the term “where appropriate” is used several times. When a requirement is
qualified by this phrase, it is deemed to be “appropriate” unless the organization can justify otherwise. A
requirement is considered “appropriate” if it is necessary for any of the following:
 the product to meet specified requirements,
 the organization to carry out corrective action
 the organization to manage risks.
