    ISO 13485 Standard Internal Auditing

    STANDARDI

    ISO 13485:2016 is a globally recognized management system standard for manufacturers of healthcare devices and supplies, as well as other operators in the field. The standard ensures that the regulatory and customer requirements for healthcare devices and supplies are fulfilled at every stage of a product’s lifecycle.

    Internal auditing is utilized as a tool for developing the quality system, and it is also one of the requirements of the ISO 13485 standard. In this training, you will gain fundamental knowledge of the concept of auditing, its scope, and procedures, as well as the skills and qualifications to function as an internal auditor in accordance with the ISO 13485:2016 standard within your own organization. The auditing process is based on the ISO 19011 auditing standard for management systems. The training also addresses the additional requirements placed on the quality system by EU legislation (MDR 2017/745, IVDR 2017/746).
