On-line Audio Seminar 127

21 CFR Part 11 - Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures

Introduction and Strategies for Cost-effective Compliance

Recorded

In 1997 the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a regulation that provides criteria for acceptance by the FDA of electronic records, electronic signatures and handwritten signatures. This was done in response to requests from the industry. With this regulation, entitled Rule 21 CFR Part 11, electronic records can be equivalent to paper records and handwritten signatures. The rule applies to all industry segments regulated by the FDA that includes Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP).

Questions are:

• What are the key requirements?
• What are the issues?
• What is FDA's new scope and current thinking?
• Which systems should comply with part 11
• When is electronic audit trail a 'must'?

• How to deal with legacy systems?
• How to develop and implement a gap analysis and remediation plan?
• What is FDA's current thinking and enforcement strategy?
• How to document business practices
