The U.S. Food and Drug Administration released the immediately-in-effect (IIE) guidance document, “Unique Device Identification: Policy Regarding Compliance Dates for Class I and Unclassified Devices.” The guidance lists and explains several key elements of FDA’s enforcement discretion policy, including the Agency’s intention to not enforce standard date formatting, labeling, and GUDID data submission requirements for class I and unclassified devices before September 24, 2020; to not enforce direct mark requirements for class I and unclassified devices before September 24, 2022; and to not enforce standard date formatting, labeling, and GUDID data submission requirements until September 24, 2021, and direct mark requirements until September 24, 2022 for finished devices manufactured and labeled prior to September 24, 2018.
