webinar

Quality assurance and data integrity from an auditors’ viewpoint

In this on-demand webinar, you will hear directly from industry auditors as they discuss the current regulatory framework for good manufacturing practice (GMP), including data integrity, validation and qualification for computerised systems in regulated laboratories. 

The regulatory bodies for the pharmaceutical industry mandate that organisations be audited by an independent external auditor that is up to date on the latest regulatory requirements, to ensure companies are working in accordance with regulations for compliance and data integrity set forth in their respective countries.

The regulatory environment also requires computerised systems, including analytical instruments and data handling systems to be appropriately validated and have suitable controls in place to ensure the quality and integrity of the data that they generate – and ultimately safeguard the safety of the patient. Organisations must be mindful of the rules, regulations and guidance when implementing new systems and upgrading existing systems, to ensure they remain compliant. 

In this on-demand webinar, hear directly from industry auditors as they discuss the current regulatory framework for good manufacturing practice (GMP), including data integrity, validation and qualification for computerised systems in regulated laboratories.  Learn how these systems are implemented in a laboratory setting and the key aspects that an auditor would scrutinise during an audit. The experts reviewed Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Spectroscopy Software solutions to highlight their compliance with even the most stringent regulatory requirements.
