ISO 13485:2003 is the international standard that is the normal route for manufacturers and distributors of medical devices to demonstrate compliance to the quality system and regulatory requirements in Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia and many other countries.

ISO:13485:2003  provides a harmonized model for quality management system requirements in the international market.

ISO13485:2003 is similar to ISO9001:2008 with additional mandatory requirements for medical devices

European CE Marking Compliance
A manufacturer or distributor of a medical device intending to place a Class 1 11a, 11b or Class 111 medical device on the market within Europe under their own name must demonstrate compliance to the requirements of the EU Council Directive 93/42/EEC as amended by 2007/47/EC.   Conformity to the directive is evidenced by the CE Mark
There are several routes to achieving compliance to Directive 93/42/EEC and CE Marking.  The normal route is by the application of an ISO13485:2003 quality management system together with a Technical File (Dossier) that complies with the relevant annex of Directive 93/42/EEC as amended by 2007/47/EC   In the case of Class 2 and 3 devices the quality system and technical files are assessed by an independent third party Notified Body
