If you manufacture drugs for sale in the EU, beware. Your own computers may be setting a trap for you.
Computer validation is the issue. Just when you think you’ve got the FDA’s requirements figured out, the EU issues its own. Do you know how they differ? Will you be able to satisfy tough audit trail and personnel requirements? And what about your suppliers’ systems, procedures and networks: are they all compliant
To comply in the EU:
- IT infrastructure must be qualified and verified;
- Supplier and service provider IT systems must be audited and validated; and
- Integrity of system operations and information stored in the system must be validated.
Make no mistake: EU inspectors are watching you. Best to learn the rules before making a false step.
It’s a step-by-step guide to implementing a computer validation program that will satisfy U.S. and EU regulations.
