Impactful Policy Frameworks
CMMC 2.0 (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) Update 2023
CMMC 2.0 is a Department of Defense (DoD) program that standardizes cybersecurity requirements for defense contractors, requiring them to meet specific maturity levels to handle controlled unclassified information (CUI).
This policy directly impacts Crescent Industries by mandating stringent cybersecurity controls and third-party assessments for its Military & Defense segment, ensuring data protection and continued eligibility for contracts.
FDA Medical Device Quality System Regulation (21 CFR Part 820) Modernization (ongoing)
The FDA is aligning its Quality System Regulation (QSR) with ISO 13485:2016, aiming to harmonize requirements for medical device manufacturers and streamline compliance.
This modernization helps Crescent Industries by potentially simplifying compliance for its Medical & Pharmaceutical clients through alignment with an internationally recognized standard (ISO 13485), enhancing market access and reducing regulatory burden.
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) – Buy America Provisions (2021/2022)
The IIJA significantly expands 'Buy America' requirements for federally funded infrastructure projects, mandating that all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used must be produced in the United States.
While not directly an injection molding regulation, this policy creates a strong incentive for domestic manufacturing across various industrial sectors, potentially increasing demand for Crescent Industries' services from clients involved in infrastructure projects.
