ISO 14971 is an ISO standard, published in 2007, that represents the requirements for a risk management system for medical devices.[1] This standard supersedes earlier documents such as ISO 14971:2000 and EN 1441 [citation needed].

This standard establishes the requirements for risk management to determine the safety of a medical device by the manufacturer during the product life cycle.

This standard adopted by CEN as EN ISO 14971:2007 is harmonized with respect to the European medical device directives 93/42/EEC, 90/385/EEC and 98/79/EC.[2]

The requirements of this standard should be applied to medical devices as well established in the ISO 13485 in paragraph 7.1 of planning.
