ISO 13485 certification in Munich at a glance
Medical technology in Munich grows out of the biotech and pharma base that munich business describes: contract research organisations, device developers and hospital partners working beside the research institutes at Planegg and in the city. ISO 13485 is the quality management standard for medical devices, covering design controls, risk management, supplier control, traceability and post-market feedback, and it is the usual basis for the quality system that device makers and their suppliers need. Component suppliers and contract manufacturers are often asked for it by their device-maker customers. Sterling builds the documentation and process controls from its Frankfurt office, using Effivity to keep the records, while the medical device regulation and the notified-body route are explained on the Germany page.

ISO 13485 in Munich: questions clients ask
Is the IZB in Planegg a source of ISO 13485 demand?
It is one place where young life-science companies gather, and those developing devices or diagnostics need a quality system early. The centre itself does not require ISO 13485; the need arises from regulators, investors and customers. Confirm your product's regulatory class before choosing scope.
Do component suppliers in Munich need their own ISO 13485?
Often they are asked to, or to show a quality system that is close to it. A device maker has to control its suppliers, and a certified system makes that easier. The request comes in the supplier agreement, so read the quality clauses and ask which standard and scope the customer expects.
