A new publication from International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) aims to provide guidance for standards development in the medical device industry. To address current safety aspects, the ISO/IEC Guide 63:2012, Guide to the Development and Inclusion of Safety Aspects in International Standards for Medical Devices, replaces a 1999 edition. ISO reports that the updated guide was created to improve the interface between standards development committees and stakeholders, and to make the best use of resources by creating safety standards for devices that are in demand.
