CE mark and ISO 13485 for medical device in EU

Is it necessary to be ISO 13485:2016 certified before pursuing the CE Marking? Or is having the ISO 13485 more of a benefit, and not a requirement.

Answer: In the EU context, the CE mark is part of the conformity assessment procedure, therefore, is actually a priority over ISO13485. Having ISO 13485 is more of a benefit.

As a company dealing with medical devices, being ISO13485 certified could provides an added assurance that the company has a quality management system in place that can ensure the quality, safety and performance of the devices as well as open up more opportunity for exporting of the products.
