It is crucial that all steps in the life cycle of a product are covered: from the initial idea to production and delivery. Whether you produce or supply yourself &#8211; your quality management must be traceable. Exactly which areas of application are certified &#8211; such as specific products, processes or company divisions &#8211; depends on your operational reality.<\/p>\n\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>                                        \r\n                                    <\/div>                                                                        \r\n                                <\/div>                                \r\n                        <\/section>\r\n                    \n\n            \r\n        <div class=\"spacing-block small spacing-block-id-69d3ac7850d89\" >                                     \r\n                  <div class=\"small-space\">   \r\n                  <\/div>                      \r\n        <\/div>\n\n\r\n                <div class=\"headline-block \">\r\n                    \r\n                        <div class=\"container\">                            \r\n                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                        <div class=\"col\">\r\n                            <h3 class=\"wt-subheadline wt-sl\">What is the difference between ISO 9001 and 13485?<\/h3>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                            \r\n                                                                                                                                \r\n                        <\/div>                                \r\n                <\/div>\r\n            \n\n\r\n                        <section class=\"textBlock\">\r\n                            \r\n                                <div class=\"container\">\r\n                                    \r\n                                    \r\n                                    \r\n                                    <div class=\"row text\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"col\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"textBlock-text fs-16 fw-medium lh-26\">\r\n                                                \n<p class=\"wp-block-wt-text-block\">ISO 13485 regulates quality management specifically for medical devices &#8211; with a clear focus on safety and the legal requirements of the industry. ISO 9001 is cross-sectoral and sets out more general requirements. It is broader in scope, but not equivalent: ISO 13485 is the standard of choice for manufacturers in the medical sector.<\/p>\n\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>                                        \r\n                                    <\/div>                                                                        \r\n                                <\/div>                                \r\n                        <\/section>\r\n                    \n\n            \r\n        <div class=\"spacing-block small spacing-block-id-69d3ac78510cf\" >                                     \r\n                  <div class=\"small-space\">   \r\n                  <\/div>                      \r\n        <\/div>\n\n\r\n                <div class=\"headline-block \">\r\n                    \r\n                        <div class=\"container\">                            \r\n                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                        <div class=\"col\">\r\n                            <h3 class=\"wt-subheadline wt-sl\">What is the difference between ISO 13485 and EN ISO 13485?<\/h3>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                            \r\n                                                                                                                                \r\n                        <\/div>                                \r\n                <\/div>\r\n            \n\n\r\n                        <section class=\"textBlock\">\r\n                            \r\n                                <div class=\"container\">\r\n                                    \r\n                                    \r\n                                    \r\n                                    <div class=\"row text\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"col\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"textBlock-text fs-16 fw-medium lh-26\">\r\n                                                \n<p class=\"wp-block-wt-text-block\">The abbreviations in front of ISO 13485 often cause confusion &#8211; but the explanation is simple: ISO 13485 is the international standard.
