Hi, the certification is voluntary.

The certificate is usually requested by customers or national authorities during registration processes in non-EU countries.

For EU and CE marking, you need to meet MDD/MDR requirements relating the QMS. You should follow ISO13485, but certification is not requesred.

Yes, it is not mandatory, but to obtain the CE certificate from a NB they will want to see evidance of your QMS. If it not ISO 13485 certified, you will have to convince them that your QMS is equally good to that standard or better. It is very hard to achieve this way, the easier way is to get ISO 13485 certified.

Wrong!
You are not right that ISO 13485 is mandatory as RA_QA_Expert has mentioned above it is voluntary but you have to prove you fulfil requirements of MDD/MDR on your quality system and it is more easier if you have certification according to the standard.

Starting a reply with "Wrong!", is not going to be well received, even if someone is mistaken.
