The standard states the requirements of comprehensive\u00a0quality management systems\u00a0for the design and manufacture of\u00a0medical devices products. Since then, it was revised twice in 2003 and 2016 respectively \u2014 with the latest being the 3rd edition ISO 13485:2016.<\/p><p class=\"\">In 2012, as part of the harmonisation process with the European Union directives for the medical sector (93\/42\/EEC, 98\/79\/EC and 90\/385\/EEC), the EN ISO 13485: 2012 was released. Comparatively, there are no major differences with ISO 13485:2016, except for the Z-Annexes.

Besides the stringency of the medical device industry, since it relates to the healthcare and medical sectors, the ISO 13485 does not follow the Annex SL framework. The Annex SL framework refers to the way a standard is being written. When a standard follows the Annex SL framework, the terminology, the way it is written and defined are mostly similar to one another.<\/p><p class=\"\">Some of the famous standards following the Annex SL framework includes ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000 and <a href=\"https:\/\/stendard.com\/en-sg\/iso-27001\/\">ISO 27001<\/a>. What this means is that a large majority group of consultants, experts and certification body auditors familiar with the Annex SL standards, would still find ISO 13485 hard to implement, to correct gaps and to audit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e342538 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e342538\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Difference between ISO 13485 and ISO 9001<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4621239 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4621239\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">To add to the challenge, the most commonly adopted ISO standard \u2014 the ISO 9001 standard is also known as a Quality Management System, though the ISO 9001 standard applies to many other industries, including construction, engineering, manufacturing, hotels &amp; hospitality, just to name a few. Being the number 1 most popular standard being certified to, anyone in this industry would be familiar with the <a href=\"https:\/\/stendard.com\/en-sg\/blog\/iso-9001\/\">ISO 9001 standard<\/a> or have worked with an organisation with the ISO 9001 certification. This greatly impacts the impression that the ISO 13485 standard is very similar in nature, which is far from the truth due to the differences in structure and framework of the standard.<\/p><p class=\"\">Looking deeper into their differences, the ISO 9001 requirements are set towards ensuring that your organisation put more focus on achieving customer satisfaction, while ISO 13485 puts a lot more emphasis on patient safety during the usage of the medical devices, and greater efficacy in the results of diagnosis for example. In addition, ISO 9001 now requires the product manufacturers to focus on continuous improvement, while ISO 13485 requires the company to demonstrate implementation and consistent maintenance of the quality management system.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8cdd0ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8cdd0ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Challenges of the ISO 13485 certification<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51a0128 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51a0128\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">In terms of documentation, based on our experiences in setting up the Quality Manual, Procedures, Form templates and Work Instructions, the amount of ISO 13485 documentation is on average more than twice of those needed for ISO 9001, though the number of documents may differ between different companies and should not be a definitive gauge towards actual compliance.<\/p><p class=\"\">Lastly, the ISO 13485 has got more requirements for the management of risk. The companies need to show how risk management principles are incorporated into the entire product realisation and post-market feedback. This also includes additional regulatory requirements with regards to complaint handling, regulatory notifications and post-market surveillance.<\/p><p class=\"\">As you can see now, the amount of knowledge and stringency required of an ISO 13485 consultant and certification body is of a different scale altogether and should not be compared against ISO 9001.
