On-line Audio Seminar 102

Using Excel® in Part11/GxP Regulated Environments

Recorded

Spreadsheets like Excel® are frequently used in regulated laboratories and production environment. Some companies have thousands of them. They need to be validated and comply with 21 CFR Part 11 and other regulations. The question is how, because Excel was not designed for part 11 and 'out of the box' Excel does not have all the functions as required by part 11. And spreadsheets applications are readily available, easy to program, and easy to change.

Questions are:

• What is it we should validate?
• I have been using these spreadsheets since years, I know that they work, why should I start to validate?
• Should we test standard Excel functions?
• Standard Excel does not have part11 compliant audit trail, what to do?
• Everybody can easily access Excel applications, how to ensure data security and integrity?
• How to prevent that somebody changes the Excel spreadsheet?

How does the audio seminar help:

Solutions will be presented by Dr. Ludwig Huber in a new interactive audio seminar. During the seminar, the speaker will present strategies and give practical recommendations.
