I am preparing for CBA exam and wanted to know where can I get the standards mentioned in BOK (eg.13485) for cheaper price. For any of you who have taken this exam please let me know whether I should invest so much money on these standards.

Re: ISO standards help - should I invest in them for the CBA exam?

For some reason my previous A search can save money suggestion does not offer 13485 but Malaysian Standards offer 13485 for
70.00 MYR = 19.2218 USD
Malaysia Ringgits United States Dollars

You need to register first.
When I looked for ISO9001 they had not yet published it.
Please check the various restrictions

For those who (like me, before I looked it up) don't know what "CBA" is, it's Certified Biomedical Auditor.

I haven't taken the CBA exam but am considering doing so in the future. I have purchased "The Biomedical Quality Auditor Handbook" from ASQ and would recommend it. ISO 14969 (the guide for 13485) contains 13485 so in effect you could get two for one. A lot of the other BOK documents (GHTF stuff for instance) can be accessed for free on the internet.

Are you currently working for a company that does 13485-type work? If so, and they don't have a copy of the standard, maybe you can talk them into getting it.
