15223-1 and 13485 certification question

Do i need to purchase iso 15223-1 in order to comply with a medical device app?

Yes, you need to purchase this standard. But please be careful because the new revision of this standard is currently under development: ISO/DIS 15223-1 Medical devices — Symbols to be used with medical device labels, labeling, and information to be supplied — Part 1: General requirements.
