Full title and description

STB DIN EN ISO 13485 E 2014-04 — Medical devices — Quality management systems — Requirements for regulatory purposes (German version prEN ISO 13485:2014). This item represents the DIN/EN draft publication of the ISO/DIS 13485 document issued in April 2014 for national adoption and public comment.

Abstract

This draft standard sets out requirements for a quality management system specific to organizations involved in the design, production, installation and servicing of medical devices where regulatory requirements apply. It follows the ISO 13485 text under the prEN/draft procedure and was issued in the German-language edition for national review. The draft was subsequently withdrawn and superseded by the formal DIN EN ISO 13485:2016 edition.

Scope

The document defines 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. It emphasises regulatory conformance and extends coverage to the full device lifecycle, including design and development, production, storage, distribution, installation, servicing, and post-market activities. The practical, final published reference for these requirements is ISO 13485:2016.

Key topics and requirements

• Establishment and maintenance of a documented quality management system for medical devices.
• Regulatory requirements mapping and demonstration of conformity for applicable markets.
• Design and development controls, including design files and device history documentation.
• Risk management integration across product lifecycle (linkage to ISO 14971 guidance).
• Supplier and outsourced-process control, including monitoring and contractual requirements.
• Process validation and software validation where applicable.
• Product traceability, identification, and record retention (medical device file requirements).
• Complaint handling, vigilance/reporting and corrective/preventive actions tied to regulatory reporting obligations.

Typical use and users

Intended for medical device manufacturers, contract manufacturers, suppliers, regulatory affairs professionals, conformity assessment bodies, and organizations that provide services related to medical devices (installation, servicing, sterilization and distribution). It is used as the normative basis for certification preparation and for aligning company QMS documentation with regulatory expectations.
