ISO 13485 references the ISO 9001:2008 standard, not the latest 2015 version. However, ISO 13485 goes beyond ISO 9001 with many controls specific to medical devices.

Many countries now base their regulatory requirements on ISO 9001 and 13485. For example, the U.S. revised Quality System Regulation (FDA 21 CFR 820) incorporates both of these standards.

Additionally, ISO 13485 certification is a common first step for manufacturers seeking compliance with the Medical Device Directive (MDD) and the CE marking process in the European Union.
