The standard is based on ISO 9001 and organised in the same way using the same numbering and most of the requirements directly from ISO 9001. The standard specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer requirements and regulatory requirements, applicable to medical devices and related services.
