ISO 13485 certification (also known as “registration”) is a third-party audit performed by a certification body such as PECB MS who, upon verification that an organization is in compliance with the requirements of ISO 13485, will issue an ISO 13485 certificate. This certification is then maintained through regularly scheduled annual surveillance audits by the registrar, with re-certification of the Medical Devices Quality Management System performed on a tri-annual basis.
