Will 21CFR820 be fully replaced by ISO 13485?

On January 31^st 2024 FDA published the final rule to amend 21 CFR 820, the FDA Quality System Regulation (QS Reg) to incorporate, by reference ISO13485:2016. The final decision was presented four years after FDA announced their intention to perform a revision of the regulation, the first one since 1996.

Course description:

In this webinar, you will learn about the scope and impact of this decision; i.e which requirements that are added or removed from the current 21 CFR 820, and which ones that remain the same.
