WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS SEMINAR

As U.S. companies expand globally, meeting regulatory requirements for product design documentation becomes increasingly complex. The Design History File (DHF), mandated by FDA’s cGMPs, and the Technical Documentation (TD) required by the EU’s MDR, serve distinct purposes yet are converging in significant ways. 

This comprehensive two-day seminar led by John E. Lincoln, an expert with 36+ years of experience in FDA-regulated industries, will demystify the similarities and differences between DHF and Technical Documentation. Gain clarity on the U.S. FDA’s and EU’s evolving regulations, learn how to maintain compliance across jurisdictions, and prepare for future trends in global device documentation.
