Do medical device distributors and 3rd party logistics providers benefit from implementing ISO 13485 and MRD?

Yes, 3rd party logistics can be certified under ISO 13485. In the standard, in the Scope section is stated that this International Standard specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services. Such organizations can be involved in one or more life cycle stages, including design and development, production, storage and distribution, installation, or servicing of a medical device, and design and development or provision of associated activities (e.g. technical support). Therefore, 3PL can implement ISO 13485.
