Description

The importance of ensuring data integrity is reflected in guidance, citations, and public comments of Regulators and Health Agencies. A number of companies have suffered serious regulatory and financial consequences as a result of unacceptable pharmaceutical data integrity practices.

The ISPE GAMP® Guide: Records and Data Integrity provides principles and practical guidance on meeting current expectations for the management of GxP regulated records and data, ensuring that they are complete, consistent, secure, accurate, and available throughout their life cycle.

This approach is intended to encourage innovation and technological advancement while avoiding unacceptable risk to product quality, patient safety, and public health.

The ISPE GAMP Guide: Records and Date Integrity is intended as a stand-alone ISPE GAMP Guide aligned with the ISPE GAMP 5: A Risk-Based Approach to Compliant GxP Computerized Systems.
