What is the ISO standard for machining?
The most relevant ISO standard for medical device machining is ISO 13485, which specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS) where an organization must demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements. ISO 9001 is a general-purpose QMS standard also widely applied in precision machining. Criterion holds both ISO 13485 and ISO 9001 certifications.
