Introduction
0.1 General
This 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 of a medical device, including design and development, production, storage and distribution, installation, servicing and final decommissioning and disposal of medical devices, and design and development, or provision of associated activities (e.g. technical support). The requirements in this standard can also be used by suppliers or other external parties providing product (e.g. raw materials, components, subassemblies, medical devices, sterilization services, calibration services, distribution services, maintenance services) to such organizations. The supplier or external party can voluntarily choose to conform to the requirements of this standard or can 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 apply to its activities under these roles;
— incorporates these applicable regulatory requirements within its quality management system.
The definitions in applicable regulatory requirements differ from nation to nation and region to region. The organization needs to understand how the definitions in this standard will be interpreted in light of regulatory definitions in the jurisdictions in which the medical devices are made available.
This 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 standard are complementary to the technical requirements for product 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 the:
a) organizational environment, changes in that environment, and the influence that the organizational environment has on the conformity of the medical devices;
b) organization’s varying needs;
c) organization’s particular objectives;
d) product the organization provides;
e) processes the organization employs;
f) organization’s size and organizational structure;
g) regulatory requirements applicable to the organization’s activities.
It is not the intent of this standard to imply the need for uniformity in the structure of different quality management systems, uniformity of documentation or alignment of documentation to the clause structure of this standard.
There is a wide variety of medical devices and some of the particular requirements of this standard only apply to named groups of medical devices. These groups are defined in Clause 3.
0.2 Clarification of concepts
In this standard, the following terms or phrases are used in the context described below.
— 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:
— product to meet requirements;
— compliance with applicable regulatory requirements;
— the organization to carry out corrective action;
— the organization to manage risks.
— When the term “risk” is used, the application of the term within the scope of this standard pertains to safety or performance requirements of the medical device or meeting applicable regulatory requirements.
— When a requirement is required to be “documented”, it is also required to be established, implemented and maintained.
— When the term “product” is used, it can also mean “service”. Product applies to output that is 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 requirements contained in any law applicable to the user of this standard (e.g. statutes, regulations, ordinances or directives). 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.
The following auxiliary verbs are used in this standard:
— “shall” indicates a requirement;
— “should” indicates a recommendation;
— "may" indicates permission;
— "can" indicates a possibility or a capability.
"Note" is for guidance in understanding or clarifying the associated requirement.
0.3 Process approach
This standard is based on a process approach to quality management. Any activity that receives input and converts it to output 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 needs 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;
d) improving processes based on objective measurement.
0.4 Relationship with ISO 9001
While this is a stand-alone standard, it is based on GB/T 19001-2008, which has been replaced by GB/T 19001-2016. For the convenience of users, Annex B shows the correspondence between this standard and GB/T 19001-2016.
ISO13485:2016 is intended to facilitate global alignment of appropriate regulatory requirements for quality management systems applicable to organizations involved in one or more stages of the life-cycle of a medical device. This standard includes some particular requirements for organizations involved in the life-cycle of medical devices and excludes some of the requirements of ISO 9001 that are not appropriate as regulatory requirements. Because of these exclusions, organizations whose quality management systems conform to this standard cannot claim conformity to ISO 9001 unless their quality management system meets all the requirements of ISO 9001.
0.5 Compatibility with other management systems
This 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 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 standard.
Medical Devices — Quality Management Systems — Requirements for Regulatory Purposes
1 Scope
This standard 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 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 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 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 standard reflect any exclusion of design and development controls.
If any requirement in Clauses 6, 7 or 8 of this 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.
