  • Data retention

    Please note that ISO 27001 does not prescribe data retention requirements (for any type of information), only that these must be defined, based on results of risk assessment and applicable legal requirements (e.g., laws, regulations, and contracts).

    Considering that, you should consider hiring legal expert advice, to help you identify relevant legal requirements applicable to your organization.

  • Archiving period for Documents in IATF 16949

    Regarding the retention of records, the legal regulations and the periods specified by the customer-specific requirements are important. The first issue to be examined is these 2 places. 

    In addition, the IATF 16949: 2016 standard defined in clause 7.5.3.2.1 as follows.

    "Production part approvals, tooling records including maintenance and ownership), product and process design records, purchase orders (if applicable), or contracts and amendments shall be retained for the length of time that the product is active for production and service requirements, plus one calendar year unless otherwise specified by the customer or regulatory agency."

  • Management representative in ISO 13485

    Yes, you can outsource a person as a management representative. A management representative should be someone who is knowledgeable, trained, and have experience in dealing with the Quality Management System according to ISO 13485 of the company as well as familiar. Also, it would be preferable that that person has experience with your type of medical devices and technologies. This person must be available upon your request.

    With an outsourced Management representative, you need to have a contract where mutual obligations will be defined.
