What is the relationship between quality and risk management?

More than ever, quality oversight calls for incorporating risk planning and mitigation into quality management systems from day one. This proactive approach enables manufacturers to anticipate and address issues before they escalate, thereby safeguarding product quality, enhancing regulatory compliance and protecting brand reputation. Integrating risk management into quality control practices enhances product quality and also fosters a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.

What are risk management standards and regulations?

There is a strong emphasis on risk management in quality standards that is accepted globally. The most common of these are ISO 9001 and ISO 13485, maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) 21 CFR Part 820. These standards call for incorporating risk-based thinking at all points in a product’s lifecycle. More structured risk-management processes for medical devices are outlined in ISO 14971.
