When considering ISO9001, there’s definitely one question to consider: Is the manufacturing plant of your skin device ISO9000 certified? This means all measures possible are required to meet or exceed industry standards and obtained safety verification of the product.

ISO9001 applies to all types of organizations. It doesn't matter what size they are or what they do. It can help both product- and service-oriented organizations achieve standards of quality that are recognized and respected throughout the world.

And ISO 9001:2000 has replaced the old ISO 9001:1994 standard. In addition, the old ISO 9002:1994 and ISO 9003:1994 quality standards have been discontinued. They are now obsolete. So if you're now ISO 9001:1994 certified, you should update your quality management system in order to meet the new ISO 9001:2000 requirements. And if you're now ISO 9002 or ISO 9003 certified, you will likely have to become ISO 9001:2000 certified, as well.
