What does ISO 13485 certification show?
The ISO 13485 standard serves as a basis for certification in the medical technology industry. It sets out the requirements for a comprehensive quality management system for the design and manufacture of medical products. ISO 13485 is intended as a guarantee of product safety and product effectiveness with regard to the design and manufacture of medical products, and the process of bringing such products onto the market. ISO 13485 also includes security precautions for the storage of patient data.
