ISO 13485 certification in Mumbai at a glance

Medical device quality is a niche in Mumbai, but pharmaceutical and engineering firms on MIDC's Mumbai-Thane-Raigad land and exporters through the container port are the likeliest to need ISO 13485 when a device or component customer asks. ISO 13485 sets a quality management system for medical devices, with design and development controls, risk management, traceability, supplier control, complaint handling and regulatory documentation at its centre. Sterling's Mumbai office builds the system with your team on site across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included with the engagement. The certificate is awarded by an accredited certification body, and Sterling's part is to get the system and its records ready.

Design is controlledDesign and development are planned, verified and validated, with changes controlled and a file kept for each device.
Risk management runs through the life cycleRisks to safety and performance are managed from design through production, delivery and use.
Production and suppliers are controlledProduction, process validation, cleanliness, sterilisation where relevant and purchased components are controlled and recorded.
Every device can be tracedIdentification and traceability let you find the components, batches and records behind any device you have released.
Complaints and feedback drive actionComplaints and nonconformities are handled, reported to regulators where required, and closed through corrective and preventive action.

ISO 13485 in Mumbai: questions clients ask

Who in the Mumbai region needs ISO 13485?

Makers and suppliers of device components, packaging and accessories are the main candidates, often because a device customer's supplier requirements mirror the standard. MIDC lists engineering and pharmaceuticals for the belt, so the capability exists. Check whether your customer wants full certification or a supplier agreement.

Does a component supplier to a device maker need ISO 13485?

Often the device maker asks for it or for a supplier quality agreement that mirrors it. The depth depends on how critical the component is to the finished device. Ask your customer which requirements flow down to you, since some accept ISO 9001 with added controls instead.
