Framework overlap

Does ISO 13485 cover ISO 9001?

You hold ISO 13485 and have been told to do ISO 9001. Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

8% of ISO 9001 you already have

ISO 13485 already covers about 8% of ISO 9001, leaving 44 of 48 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 0 Likely covered 4 New work 44

No control in ISO 13485 maps directly to one in ISO 9001. Everything counted as covered is covered because both map to the same third standard, which is what a crosswalk is, but it is an inference rather than a lookup.

How this is calculated

Already covered means a mapping runs from a control in ISO 13485 to that control. Likely covered means no direct mapping exists but both frameworks map to the same control in a third standard. New work means neither. We keep those separate rather than adding them into one friendlier number, because blending them would present a two-hop inference as a verified fact.

Coverage is not symmetric. Run it the other way and you will get a different number; both are correct.

From 332,959 cross-framework control mappings across 723 frameworks, 531 of them verified against their source documents. It does not tell you that you are compliant: a mapped control means the two standards ask for the same thing, not that you have done it.
