As of February 2, 2026, the FDA enforces a revised version of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-21\/chapter-I\/subchapter-H\/part-820\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21 CFR Part 820<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the regulation governing the design, manufacture, and control of medical devices in the United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key change is structural: rather than maintaining a standalone U.S. quality system regulation, the FDA has aligned Part 820 with ISO 13485:2016 by incorporating the international standard directly into the regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For companies already certified to international standards, the change removes a long-standing source of duplicated work. For teams that never adopted ISO 13485, it changes how the quality management system must be organized, documented, and inspected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guide covers why the FDA made the change, how incorporation by reference works, what differs from the old Part 820, and how to close the remaining compliance gaps. The short version: QMSR restructures Part 820 around ISO 13485, makes risk management a system-wide expectation, and leaves manufacturers with a defined set of gaps to address.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why the FDA Replaced 21 CFR Part 820 With QMSR<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FDA restructured Part 820 to eliminate duplicative quality system work across U.S. and international frameworks. Many manufacturers were doing the same quality work twice under two different rule sets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) reorganizes the FDA&#8217;s original Quality System Regulation (QSR) subparts with ISO 13485:2016, incorporated by reference, as the core framework for medical device quality management systems. The rule also incorporates Clause 3 of ISO 9000:2015 on terms and definitions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FDA kept supplemental requirements where ISO 13485 did not fully cover U.S. statutory obligations, including definitions, labeling controls, complaint records, and device tracking.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Regulatory Redundancy That Drove Harmonization<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global medical device manufacturers have maintained two substantially similar but structurally different compliance programs for years. One centered on the FDA&#8217;s QSR subparts. The other centered on the ISO 13485 clauses that support regulatory requirements in the European Union (EU), Canada, Japan, and other markets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The overlap created duplicate internal audit programs and parallel documentation maintained under different terminology. The FDA expects the harmonized framework to reduce administrative and recordkeeping burden across the industry, particularly for companies already operating under both systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Changed in the Final Rule<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final rule replaced the self-contained FDA subparts with ISO 13485:2016 as the core framework for Part 820. The standard is incorporated by reference at \u00a7 820.7, most prior subparts are now marked [Reserved], and the FDA gave manufacturers a two-year window to transition. The FDA published the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2024\/02\/02\/2024-01709\/medical-devices-quality-system-regulation-amendments\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">final rule<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on February 2, 2024, and it took effect after the transition period. Technical amendments published in December 2025 corrected formatting and cross-references shortly before the effective date.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How QMSR Incorporates ISO 13485 by Reference<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QMSR makes ISO 13485 the core federal quality management system framework, with targeted additions where U.S. statutory requirements go further than the international standard.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Incorporation by Reference Means for Manufacturers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incorporation by reference (IBR) makes ISO 13485:2016 enforceable through U.S. federal regulation. Rather than treating the standard as a consensus document for voluntary use, IBR gives it legal effect within the regulation itself. Non-compliance can render a device adulterated under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&amp;C Act). Where ISO 13485 and the FDA&#8217;s requirements or definitions differ, the FDA requirements take precedence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Where the FDA Diverged From ISO 13485<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FDA retained several supplemental requirements beyond ISO 13485:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Device labeling and packaging controls (\u00a7 820.45):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pre-release label inspection, including verification of the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) and expiration date.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Complaint and service record content (\u00a7 820.35):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> More prescriptive than ISO 13485&#8217;s complaint-handling provisions, requiring UDI documentation where applicable and specific corrective action records.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Medical Device Reporting and device tracking (\u00a7 820.10):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cross-references to reporting, corrections and removals, tracking, and UDI requirements under other FDA regulations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>FDA-specific definitions (\u00a7 820.3):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Terms like &#8220;component,&#8221; &#8220;finished device,&#8221; and &#8220;remanufacturer&#8221; are added, and the statutory term &#8220;safety and effectiveness&#8221; controls over ISO 13485&#8217;s &#8220;safety and performance.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The practical model is ISO 13485 plus a layer of retained FDA-specific requirements that the standard alone does not satisfy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Differences Between QMSR and the Old 21 CFR Part 820<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QMSR changes how quality teams organize documentation, cite requirements during inspections, and integrate risk management across every phase of development. The shifts fall into three areas: terminology, design controls, and risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Terminology Shifts Quality Teams Need to Learn<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QMSR drops the old-named QSR record categories as organizing labels, even though the underlying documentation still exists under ISO 13485. Staff trained only on the QSR&#8217;s subpart numbering will need to learn ISO 13485 clause language to respond to FDA observations:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Device Master Record, Design History File, and Device History Record:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These named records are no longer referenced. ISO 13485 consolidates equivalent documentation under the Medical Device File and its production records.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Design History File (DHF) content:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Maps to ISO 13485&#8217;s design and development requirements under Clause 7.3.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Device History Record (DHR) content:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Corresponds to production records for each batch, lot, or unit, and under \u00a7 820.35(c), the UDI must be recorded for each device or batch of devices.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Quality System Record:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Maps to ISO 13485&#8217;s documentation requirements.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mapping each existing record type against its ISO 13485 equivalent before the first inspection under QMSR is the most straightforward way to surface where your documentation needs updating.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Design Controls Under QMSR<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design controls remain in force under QMSR, but they are now organized through ISO 13485 rather than the old stand-alone QSR structure. Expectations carry over from \u00a7 820.30 into ISO 13485&#8217;s<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/requirements-management-guide\/medical-devices\/design-history-file-dhf\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">design and development requirements<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with a direct path from design inputs through design outputs, verification, validation, transfer, and design changes. One change worth noting: the independent reviewer requirement in \u00a7 820.30(e) does not appear in ISO 13485&#8217;s corresponding design review provision, which may change how independence is demonstrated during design reviews. The FDA-specific design control exemptions are preserved in \u00a7 820.10.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Risk Management Expectations<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QMSR makes risk management a system-wide expectation rather than a narrow design validation activity. Under the old QSR, risk analysis appeared explicitly in only one design control sub-element, \u00a7 820.30(g) for design validation, but under QMSR, it runs throughout the ISO 13485 clauses. Risk inputs must be documented in design inputs, risk controls traced in design outputs, and verification must address those controls, with risk reassessed when a design changes. Risk-based thinking also extends to supplier evaluation, process validation,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/requirements-management-guide\/medical-devices\/the-importance-of-benefit-risk-analysis-in-medical-device-development\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prioritization of corrective and preventive actions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and management review. ISO 14971 is not itself incorporated by reference, though the FDA recognizes it as the established framework for medical device risk management.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What QMSR Means for Medical Device Manufacturers<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The practical effects split sharply between teams already running an ISO 13485-based system and teams that operated solely under the QSR.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Impact on U.S.-Only Manufacturers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies that operated only under the QSR face a more structural transition. They generally need a quality manual aligned with the clause structure of ISO 13485, reorganized standard operating procedures, and risk management embedded throughout the quality management system. Establishments not already complying with ISO 13485 faced substantial one-time transition costs, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/media\/176147\/download\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">according to the FDA&#8217;s regulatory impact analysis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Impact on Global Manufacturers Already Certified to ISO 13485<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Already-certified companies can expect a lighter annual compliance burden under the harmonized framework. The remaining work involves ensuring that complaint records capture the UDI and other device identifiers under \u00a7 820.35(a), implementing labeling inspection procedures under \u00a7 820.45, assessing 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for electronic records where applicable, and extending traceability to devices that sustain or support life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Inspection and Enforcement Changes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspections now align with ISO 13485&#8217;s structure rather than the legacy QSR framework. The FDA withdrew the Quality System Inspection Technique in favor of an updated inspection model aligned with ISO 13485 principles. Teams should be ready to present internal audit, supplier, and management review documentation within a QMSR-aligned system during inspection readiness work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Prepare for QMSR Compliance<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparation centers on three activities: a gap assessment, documentation and training updates, and design-control workflow alignment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Conducting a Gap Assessment Against ISO 13485:2016<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A baseline gap assessment compares current quality management system documentation against every clause of ISO 13485:2016 and the retained FDA provisions. Priority areas include risk management integration outside the design phase, supplier qualification, internal audit and management review records, and software validation for applications that support the quality system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Updating Procedures, Records, and Training<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transition work goes well beyond swapping CFR references for ISO clause numbers. Corrective and preventive action (CAPA) procedures need to address corrective and preventive actions under Clause 8.5. Complaint records need UDI fields per \u00a7 820.35. Personnel training must cover the new terminology so that quality staff can respond to FDA observations that cite ISO 13485 clauses rather than QSR subparts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Aligning Design Controls and Risk Management Workflows<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design control workflows must connect risk management to each stage of development. They should follow the design and development structure in Clause 7.3, with<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/requirements-management-guide\/medical-devices\/iso-13485\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">risk management records<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> linked to the relevant design phases. Design inputs should reference risk analysis outputs, design outputs should trace to risk control measures, and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/requirements-management-guide\/requirements-validation-and-verification\/best-practices-for-verification-and-validation-in-product-development\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">verification and validation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> records should demonstrate that those controls were tested and confirmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Common QMSR Compliance Pitfalls to Avoid<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early readiness problems tend to follow the same three patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Treating QMSR as a Documentation Update Only<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renaming a document does not make a quality system QMSR-ready. Relabeling a DHF and updating header references does not satisfy the new inspection model. FDA investigators still assess whether documentation reflects a functioning system with integrated risk management across all design phases.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Letting ISO 13485 Certification Stand In for QMSR Readiness<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ISO 13485 certification and QMSR readiness are separate things. A certificate of conformance does not exempt a manufacturer from an FDA inspection. Certification does not cover \u00a7 820.45 labeling requirements, \u00a7 820.35 complaint record content, 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records obligations, or FDA traceability requirements for devices that sustain or support life. Compliance depends on meeting FDA-specific requirements, regardless of whether a manufacturer holds the certificate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Underestimating Supplier and Subcontractor Implications<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supplier controls remain a direct compliance risk under QMSR. ISO 13485 purchasing controls and written quality agreement requirements now apply with the force of federal law. Those controls require documented follow-through, especially when manufacturers rely on external audits and evidence of corrective actions to support supplier oversight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Jama Connect\u00ae Supports QMSR Compliance<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QMSR readiness depends on maintaining traceability across design inputs, design outputs, verification and validation records, and risk management records without losing control as documents change.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/platform\/jama-connect\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jama Connect\u00ae<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a cloud-based requirements management and traceability platform for complex, regulated product development, providing medical device teams with a single place to manage linked records rather than reconciling them across disconnected files.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a requirement changes,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/requirements-management-guide\/requirements-traceability\/live-traceability-vs-after-the-fact-traceability\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Live Traceability\u2122<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> keeps connected design, verification, and risk records visible together, so teams can maintain audit-ready evidence throughout development rather than having to reconstruct it before an inspection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Turning Harmonization Into a Working Quality System<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The teams best positioned for QMSR are those that already run design controls, risk management, and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/requirements-management-guide\/requirements-traceability\/what-is-traceability\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">traceability<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as connected workflows rather than as separate documentation exercises. QMSR did not invent new quality expectations so much as formalize the practices global manufacturers were already using, and it closed the gap for those who were not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That shift rewards a development process where compliance evidence is a byproduct of the work, not a separate reconstruction effort at audit time. Jama Connect supports this workflow by linking requirements, test cases, and risk records so the traceability QMSR depends on stays current as the design evolves. Start a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/trial\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">free 30-day trial of Jama Connect<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Frequently Asked Questions About QMSR<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>When did QMSR take effect?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QMSR became effective on February 2, 2026, two years after the FDA published the final rule in the Federal Register (89 FR 7496). The FDA began enforcing it on that date. The practical question for manufacturers shifted from whether they had a transition plan to whether they could show inspectors a working system organized around ISO 13485 and the retained FDA-specific requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Does QMSR replace ISO 13485 certification?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. QMSR incorporates ISO 13485:2016 by reference but does not require certification, and holding a certificate does not satisfy QMSR. The regulation turns conformance with the standard into a federal legal obligation. A certified manufacturer can still fall short during an inspection in FDA-specific areas such as labeling controls, complaint record content, device tracking, or electronic records.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is the difference between QMSR and 21 CFR Part 820?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QMSR is the amended version of 21 CFR Part 820. The prior QSR used self-contained FDA subparts, while QMSR reorganized that structure by incorporating ISO 13485:2016 into Part 820. Day-to-day, Part 820 still exists, but teams now organize documentation and inspection responses around ISO 13485&#8217;s clause structure, with FDA-specific additions layered on top.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Do contract manufacturers and suppliers need to comply with QMSR?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QMSR directly regulates finished-device manufacturers, who must apply ISO 13485 purchasing controls throughout their supply chain and may use written quality agreements to oversee suppliers. Suppliers are not regulated directly, but a supplier weakness can create inspection exposure for the manufacturer when it shows up in audits, corrective actions, or poorly defined quality agreements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This article was authored by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/blog\/author\/trish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tom Rish<\/a> and published on June 11, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kt272dwm-d42d3d376d99045ff6cfafa99fec44da '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><div class=\"flex_column_table av-equal-height-column-flextable\"><div class=\"flex_column av_one_half flex_column_div first previous\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/requirements-management-guide\/product-development-terms-and-definitions\/\" class=\"\"><div class=\"arrow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/requirements-management-guide\/product-development-terms-and-definitions\/\" class=\"\">PREVIOUS<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/requirements-management-guide\/product-development-terms-and-definitions\/\" class=\"\"><span class=\"title\">Product Development Terms and Definitions<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><div id=\"form\" class=\"cta-background flex_column_table av-equal-height-column-flextable\"><div class='av-column-wrapper-individual av-mobile-columns-flex av-columns-reverse'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m4auxxrv-ed813687835a92784865e29ca937fa69\">\n.flex_column.av-m4auxxrv-ed813687835a92784865e29ca937fa69{\nwidth:59.2%;\nborder-radius:8px 8px 8px 8px;\npadding:20px 20px 20px 20px;\nbackground-color:#f8fbff;\nbackground:linear-gradient( to bottom, #f8fbff, #fafbfd );\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-m4auxxrv-ed813687835a92784865e29ca937fa69 av_three_fifth  column-form white-bkg first flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m4auzxjq-528a2e5d99e650173b0fd30a4c0c4bba\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-m4auzxjq-528a2e5d99e650173b0fd30a4c0c4bba{\npadding-bottom:10px;\ncolor:#000e78;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-m4auzxjq-528a2e5d99e650173b0fd30a4c0c4bba .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-m4auzxjq-528a2e5d99e650173b0fd30a4c0c4bba .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#000e78;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-m4auzxjq-528a2e5d99e650173b0fd30a4c0c4bba .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-m4auzxjq-528a2e5d99e650173b0fd30a4c0c4bba av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote modern-centered'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  >Book a Demo<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m4av0qkv-a50042b97728bc28c371ad31790bf0af '  ><div class='avia_textblock green-btn' ><style>\n#top .column-form.white-bkg #mktoForm_3182.mktoForm {width:100% !important;}#top .column-form.white-bkg #mktoForm_3182.mktoForm .mktoFormRow {width:100%;display:block;}#top .column-form.white-bkg #mktoForm_3182.mktoForm .mktoFormRow .mktoFormRow .mktoFormCol:nth-of-type(n+1), #top .column-form.white-bkg #mktoForm_3182.mktoForm .mktoFormRow .mktoFormRow .mktoFormCol:nth-of-type(n+2) { width: 49% !important; margin: 0 1% 0 0; width: 49% !important;}@media (max-width: 480px) {#top .column-form.white-bkg #mktoForm_3182.mktoForm .mktoFormRow .mktoFormRow .mktoFormCol:nth-of-type(n+1), #top .column-form.white-bkg #mktoForm_3182.mktoForm .mktoFormRow .mktoFormRow .mktoFormCol:nth-of-type(n+2){width:100% !important;}}<\/style>\n<form id=\"mktoForm_3182\"><\/form>\n<p><script>\nMktoForms2.loadForm(\"\/\/go.jamasoftware.com\", \"078-EIF-407\", 3182);\nMktoForms2.whenReady(function (form){\nvar redirectTimeMs = 4000;  \n\/*Add an onSuccess handler*\/ \nform.onSuccess(function(values, followUpUrl){\nvar thankYouURL = followUpUrl+  \"?FirstName=\" + encodeURIComponent(values.FirstName) +  \"&LastName=\" + encodeURIComponent(values.LastName)+  \"&Email=\" + encodeURIComponent(values.Email);console.log(thankYouURL);\ndocument.location.href = thankYouURL;\nreturn false;\n});\n});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close flex column wrapper.
