Answer:
ISO 13485 applies to all companies dealing with medical devices. Since in your case, you have clarified that the plastic part is not part of the medical device, ISO 13485 will not be applicable to you. However , you will still need to maintain the specifications and technical details about the part that you are manufacturing for the medical device manufacturer. Since you are currently certified to ISO 9001, it will be quite easy for you to adapt to ISO 13485 which will give you more advantage with your medical device clients in the future.
