ISO 14971

ISO 14971 is an ISO standard for the application of risk management to medical
devices.[1] The ISO Technical Committee responsible for the maintenance of this
standard is ISO TC 210 working with IEC/SC62A through Joint Working Group one
(JWG1). This standard is the culmination of the work starting in ISO/IEC Guide
51,[2]and ISO/IEC Guide 63.[3] The latest significant revision was published in 2007 with
a minor update published in 2009. In 2013, a technical report ISO/TR 24971[4] was
published by ISO TC 210 to provide expert guidance on the application of this standard.
This standard establishes the requirements for risk management to determine the safety
of a medical device by the manufacturer during the product life cycle. Such activity is
required by higher level regulation and other quality management system standards
such as ISO 13485. Specifically, ISO 14971 is a nine-part standard which first
establishes a framework for risk analysis, evaluation, control, and management, and
also specifies a procedure for review and monitoring during production and post-
production.[5][6]

ISO 13485
ISO 13485 Medical devices -- Quality management systems -- Requirements for
regulatory purposes is an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard,
was published for the first time in 1996, that represents the requirements for a
comprehensive quality management system for the design and manufacture of medical
devices. This standard supersedes earlier documents such as EN 46001 and EN 46002
(both 1997), the previously published ISO 13485 (1996 and 2003), and ISO 13488 (also
1996).
The current ISO 13485 effective edition was published on 1st March 2016.
