Understanding and Implementing the New EU Annex 11

Learn about specific requirements and get tools for implementation

Recorded

After more than 15 years the EU has released a new version of Annex 11: the European equivalent of FDA's Part 11. Compared to the older version it has more detailed and has some very specific requirements. It addresses the regulatory needs of modern IT equipment and when implemented right, also has business benefits through reduced failure rates. The document is a good framework for validation and using computer systems in different regulated environments. On the other hand it leaves a lot of room for interpretation and therefore the aim is not to teach how to implement systems.

Key Questions related to the contents of the new Annex are:

• What is the status of this Annex: guidance or regulation?
• Are there any specific or 'new' requirements?
• How does it compare with GAMP5 ®
• Does it require a specific lifecycle model?
• How does it compare with FDA's new interpretation for Part 11?
• The Annex requires to base decisions on  justified risk assessment. How should this be done?
• What does 'suitable checks' of spreadsheets mean?
• What should be included in the system inventory?
• What are 'suitable methods' of preventing unauthorized system entry?
• How to design data systems for data integrity?
• What does an 'appropriate qualification ' of suppliers mean?
• Do we have to keep electronic raw data in addition to paper printouts?
• When can inspectors ask for system access to study e-records

How does the this audio seminar help:

Answers 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. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like SOPs, templates and examples will help immediate and cost effective implementation.

During the interactive presentation you learn about:

• History and status of the Annex
• Relation to other documents: GAMP5 ®, Part 11,  Annex 15
• Justification and documentation of risk assessment
• Validation requirements. level of detail
• Testing specific configurations: spreadsheets, data bases, data systems
• Required validation documents
• Management of electronic records: acquisition, evaluation, archiving
