ISO 13485 quality management system and product conformity by target market for medical device manufacturers and suppliers.

In short

ISO 13485 quality management system and product conformity by target market for medical device manufacturers and suppliers.

  • The ISO 13485 certificate is not a product conformity document for the medical device
  • In Ukraine, the procedure to be applied varies according to the classification of the device
  • A UkrSEPRO certificate is not automatically required for medical devices
  • For exports to the EU, the product’s requirements under MDR 2017/745 are assessed separately

What to watch for in the medical sector

ISO 13485 is a quality management system standard. The product conformity assessment, technical file, risk management, clinical evaluation, labelling, registration and similar requirements needed to place medical devices on the market must be assessed separately according to the legislation of the target market.

One of the basic regulations for medical devices in Ukraine is the Technical Regulation on Medical Devices approved by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 753 dated 2 October 2013. The conformity assessment procedure to be applied may vary according to the classification of the product.

Today it cannot be said that a UkrSEPRO certificate must automatically be obtained for a medical device; which conformity assessment procedure the product is subject to must be determined according to the relevant technical regulation.

In medical device exports to the European Union, the ISO 13485 quality management system can form an important foundation; however, the product’s requirements under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745) must be assessed separately.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find out which certificate my medical product needs?

It is sufficient to share the product name, HS code, technical characteristics, intended use and target country. On the basis of this information, the applicable technical regulation and conformity assessment method are determined.

How long does certification take?

It is not correct to give a single standard duration. It varies according to the scope, the tests required, whether the technical documentation is ready, whether a factory inspection is required and the procedures of the target country.
