Selected
Level 1 kanji
It seems that there are many ways to translate 第一水準漢字, but I would probably go with "JIS Level 1 kanji."

Microsoft calls them ¥"JIS level-1 kanji.¥"

Whereas ¥"level 1 kanji¥" is the equivalent of the posted phrase, perhaps ¥"Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) level 1 character set¥" would be the most complete translation: http://www.google.co.jp/search?hl=ja&ie=UTF-8&as_qdr=all&q="...

JIS Level 1 kanji
As explained in Ken Lunde's classic "Understanding Japanese Information Processing", JIS Level 1 kanji is a subset of the character set standard JIS X 0208-1990, which is a Japanese government standard. The JIS Level 1 kanji are the most commonly used kanji, while the JIS Level 2 kanji are the less commonly used kanji of this standard. The Gakushu kanji are a subset of the JIS Level 1 kanji and are the set that is subdivided into Grade 1 through Grade 6 for educational purposes. Since Grade 1 contains only 80 characters, it is unlikely that this would be what is referred to in the question.
Unfortunately, the book is not available online, but the link below is to Ken's home page, which contains links to more information than you probably need to know about encoding Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.
