ISO 9001 for general electronics supply. IATF 16949 for automotive-grade semiconductor supply to Tier-1 automotive companies. Penang companies targeting automotive OEM supply need IATF 16949.
ISO 13485 incorporates ISO 9001 requirements plus medical device-specific additions. Having ISO 13485 satisfies ISO 9001 requirements. For companies needing both medical and non-medical buyer qualification: ISO 13485 alone may be sufficient.
