You need to talk to someone who has experience with FDA approval and/or
ISO-9000 certification, because I don't think anyone in the EPICS community
can answer that question other than to say we aren't compliant. The
development and testing procedures for EPICS Base are almost certainly not
documented to those standards, and we have no plans to make them comply.
I guess it might be possible to use software that was not developed with
ISO-9000 procedures within a product that does meet that standard if you
develop and apply suitable tests to the software before you use it (or to the
product itself), but you would need to ask an ISO-9000 expert about that
issue and I am most certainly not one.
Sorry, I don't think anyone here will be able to help much,
