This is my first post so please bear with me. I am seeking a checklist to compare our QMS system with the 13485:2003. We are scheduled to be audited soon so we would like to line up our ducks so to speak. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Just found this site and it looks great! I'm new to the site and the subject checklist seems as it would be a great tool -- however I'm unable to download. I promise to be a contributor in the future -- how can I access this?? Please advise. Thanks!

If you contribute, you can download within a day. Otherwise e-mail Marc.
Does anyone have any views on which certification should be applied for in the following situation (our Company):
We are manufacturers of medical and non-medical devices, with the medical part of the business being the focus. As medical device manufacturers, we are more interested in the 13485 certification. However, there is some confusion/concern that not certifying the non-medical part of the Business could create some problems. Thus we are considering doing 9001 + 13485 however the extra work and registration fees are prohibitive prospects.

Any thoughts?
Thank you much for your help.
Hi Sharda and welcome to The Cove.
We manufacture only medical devices, yet we have certificates for both ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. You should get certified to ISO 13485 for your medical devices. The additional ISO 9001 cert is minimal, primarily concerning customer satisfaction and continual improvement of your QMS.
There was no additional cost for us to get both certifications. My advice is to speak to your prospective registrar about this. If they want to impose additional cost, find one that doesn't.
