ISO 13485 for medical devices


The protection of medical staff in the health sector with regard to biological risks has always been one of the major subjects of the development of medical devices, particularly after the appearance of covid 19. However, manufacturers of medical devices must identify and assess biological risks, in order to prove risk control throughout the life cycle of the medical device based on ISO 13485.

The ISO 13485 standard “Medical devices – Quality management systems – Requirements for regulatory purposes” is a certification of the quality approach developed for the medical device sector. It is used to demonstrate regulatory compliance, recognized internationally by players in the medical sector.

This standard has come in favor of all players in the medical sector: products or services provided in the medical device sector such as production, design, distribution, parts provision activities or subcontracting, etc.

The management system certification under accreditation n° 4-0571 is a guarantee of the ability to regularly provide medical devices and services that meet customer requirements and applicable regulatory requirements.
