QMSR Resource Hub

It's finally here. How's your QMSR transition plan holding up?

The FDA’s new Quality Management System Regulation took effect February 2, 2026. This page is your one-stop resource for understanding what’s changed, what’s at stake, and how to stay compliant.

QMSR compliance isn’t a suggestion. It’s a mandate.

QMSR replaced the FDA’s legacy QSR rule and harmonized it with ISO 13485:2016. Every medical device company must now align with this new framework or risk being out of compliance.

This impacts everyone

ISO 13485 certification does not mean you are automatically in compliance with QMSR.

The changes are real

Internal audits, supplier audits, and management reviews must be available for FDA inspection.

Now is the time to act

Devices that are not in compliance with QMSR will be deemed “adulterated” by the FDA.

QMSR has no grace period. Your
quality system must now be updated
and aligned with the new Part 820.

Out with QSR. In with
QMSR. What's different about the FDA QMSR requirements?

Terminology shift: DHF → Design & Development File, DHR → Batch Records
Risk management: Must be formalized and linked across lifecycle
Record access: FDA can now request internal audits, supplier reviews, and management minutes

Hard deadline: February 2, 2026 - no phase-in period
