8 Regulations Every Biotech and Pharma Quality Leader Must Know

A fast, practical map of the rules shaping life sciences in 2026.

Most quality teams manage compliance across many frameworks at once, and those frameworks do not always line up. This primer breaks down the eight that matter most, how they overlap, where they conflict, and what to prioritize this year.

What's inside
  • Plain-language breakdowns of Part 11, QMSR, EU MDR/IVDR, ICH Q10, GxP, ISO 13485, Annex 11, and the EU AI Act
  • Who each rule applies to, what it requires, and the most common mistake teams make
  • What to prioritize in 2026, including the QMSR effective date and the shifted EU AI Act timeline
  • How the frameworks interact, so you can build one system instead of many
Who it's for: Quality leaders who need to get up to speed quickly and align cross-functional teams on what compliance really requires.
