ISO 13485 is an international quality management system (QMS) standard which has been developed specifically for the medical device industry. Unlike ISO 9001, which is concerned with QMS’ in general, this Standard is aimed at enabling organisations to demonstrate their ability to consistently deliver medical devices and related services that meet customer and applicable regulatory requirements. ISO 13485 has a particular emphasis on risk management, regulatory compliance, and product safety. Attend URM’s webinar on 16 October at 11am, where we will discuss the importance of this Standard to organisations looking to enter or maintain their presence in this highly regulated space, with key technical insights from BSI, the world leading Notified Body and UK Approved Body for medical devices. URM and BSI will discuss the purpose of the Standard, who it applies to, how organisations can achieve certification, the pitfalls to avoid when attempting to certify, and more.
