Electronic Audit Trails for FDA Compliance

- Requirements - Implementation - Validation - Documentation -

Recorded

Audit trails are required by various regulations. For example, FDA's and international GLP, cGMP and GCP regulations require to document changes to data with the date and the individual who made the change. FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 require computers to record the changes to automated systems. After some period of enforcement discretion the FDA is enforcing electronic audit trail. And deviation reports are getting more and more specific. Most recent examples are: "The firm's review of laboratory data does not include the audit trail/revision history to determine if unapproved changes have been made." and "The audit trail generated within xxx does not truly reflect the identity of the responsible individuals".  More than ever, the industry is unsure what to do.
