Quality System Regulation (QSR): Manufacturers of Class I devices must comply with FDA's Quality System Regulation (QSR) (21 CFR Part 820), which mandates the establishment and maintenance of a quality management system.

Legal Market Access: FDA certification allows manufacturers to legally market and distribute their Class I medical devices in the United States. This certification ensures compliance with FDA regulations, which is necessary for commercialization in the U.S. healthcare market.

Duration: This phase can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the device and the readiness of the submission package.
