Question-and-Answer Article about ISO 13485 Certification and 21 CFR Part 820 
MasterControl Inc., a pioneer in developing quality management software for companies in FDA and ISO environments, prepared this question-and-answer article, which compares the quality-related requirements of 21 CFR Part 820 with ISO 13485, and provides a detailed analysis of the differences.

Does ISO 13485 Certification Meet all the Requirements of 21 CFR Part 820?
Although ISO 13485 and 21 CFR Part 820 are similar, they have significant differences. For example, in the case of complaint handling and reporting, ISO 13485 certification would not be sufficient to meet the requirements of 21 CFR Part 820.

However, as noted above, medical device manufacturers that sell their products in the global market would find it advantageous to get ISO 13485 certification because ISO standards are recognized worldwide.
