Overview

ISO 13485 is an international standard, recognized throughout the world for establishing a business management system specific to the medical device industry. ISO 13485 is applicable to organizations that manufacture private label medical devices, in vitro diagnostic medical devices, and medical components.
The ISO 13485 standard supplements ISO 9001 and has many of the same requirements. Some of the additional requirements to ISO 9001 requirements relate to
design controls,
risk management,
environmental controls,
special processes (e.g. software validation),
traceability, record retention, and
regulatory actions (such as vigilance),
ISO 13485: 2003 has been harmonised against the medical device directives.
Medical Devices Directive
Active Implantable Médical Devises Directive,
In Vitro Diagnostic Directive
This means that compliance with this standard automatically demonstrates compliance with the specific parts of the directives that require a quality management system. 
Formal certification of quality management system, specifically for medical devices, to ISO 13485:2003 proves advantageous, for medical companies which export their products to the global market.
In the European Union, the fulfillment of EU Directives (e.g. Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive, Medical Devices Directive and In Vitro Diagnostic Directive) allows the free trade of medical devices.
Canada requires that medical device manufacturers marketing their products in Canada must have a quality system certified to ISO 13485 by an accredited certification body.
