  • htf is certified for ISO/TR 80002-2: Medical device software - Part 2: Validation of software for medical device quality systems. See Certifications documentation for more information.

Note

ISO/TR 80002-2 applies to any software used in device design, testing, component acceptance, manufacturing, labelling, packaging, distribution and complaint handling or to automate any other aspect of a medical device quality system as described in ISO 13485.

ISO/TR 80002-2 applies to

  • software used in the quality management system,

  • software used in production and service provision, and

  • software used for the monitoring and measurement of requirements.

It does not apply to

  • software used as a component, part or accessory of a medical device, or

  • software that is itself a medical device.
