Part 11 Isn’t Enough Anymore: Software Compliance for International Markets

It’s essential to ensure your computer systems are in compliance across your global markets…but where do you start?

As the trend of companies moving to international markets continues, the quality systems used to support GxP operations must move to comply with a wider array of international requirements…and relying on 21 CFR Part 11 to ensure compliance may no longer be enough to meet a country’s validation provisions. When EU Annex 11 was updated last year, it added several new requirements for computer system compliance – and some of these requirements are not addressed in Part 11.

Are you confident you can evaluate your own compliance with international requirements for using electronic records and electronic signatures?

On Monday, March 4 at 1:00pm EST, join FOI Services and Ofni Systems for a 90-minute teleconference for a practical introduction to computer system compliance in international environments. You’ll hear about validation requirements which vary from country to country for manufacturing, clinical and laboratory systems and how they affect password controls, user level security, data security and audit trails, and more…and you’ll increase your understanding of what to look for that isn’t covered by 21 CFR Part 11.

What You’ll Learn

• How the changes to Annex 11 affect your own GxP compliance
• Which international regulations apply to your computer systems (and which don’t)
• The regulations you absolutely can’t overlook
• Procedures to help you document your compliance
• The essentials of compliance for electronic records and signatures
• Requirements to consider before buying computer systems for international GxP use

What You’ll Receive

• Copies of, or links to, essential documents, including “Annex 11: Computerized Systems” and “EMEA ICH Guideline for Good Clinical Practice”
• A checklist to determine if your systems are in compliance with international requirements for computer systems
• A checklist to help identify the gaps in your systems’ international compliance
• An experienced and approachable instructor
• Time for questions and answers

Who Should Attend

• Everyone involved in system validation
• Anyone selecting computer systems intended for GxP environments
• Information technology professionals responsible for files or network locations storing GxP data
• Quality professionals who organize, document and verify system compliance
• Executives evaluating requirements of prospective markets
