Facts about changes to ISO 13485

This act is designed to help companies improve their administration systems and focus on improving their own approach to risk control and compliance. It complies with ISO 9001: 2008, not 2015. This discrepancy happened because two standards revision ends in parallel, and because ISO 9001: 2015 is invalidated for equipment.
