In a transformative step toward global regulatory alignment, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has finalized its rule to harmonize Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 820 with the International Organization for Standardization 13485:2016 (21 CFR Part 820 with ISO 13485:2016), introducing new expectations around documentation, risk management, supplier controls and other aspects of Quality Management Systems (QMS) for medical devices.

While this promises simplification, smooth transitions demand careful attention to significant gaps and high-risk areas.
