EU GMP Annex 11 Updates
On Jan 3, 2011, EU has released a new final version of Annex 11. Together with the updated EU GMP Chapter 4 on documentation it is the EU equivalent to FDA's Part 11. Pharmaceutical industry marketing products to Europe must comply with the annex by July 1, 2011.
Compared to the older version it has more detailed and some very specific requirements, for example computer system printouts of critical records should indicate if any of the data has been changed since the original entry. 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 and handling electronic records in different regulated environments. On the other hand it leaves a lot of room for interpretation that raises lots of questions. Attend the new Labcompliance audio seminar to learn everything about the new Annex 11 and receive 10+ best practice for easy implementation.
Comparison of Annex 11 with other official Documents
Orlando Lopez has published a document that relates Annex 11 requirements to other official regulations and guidance documents. It is organized in table format. In the first of six columns it lists the contents of Annex 11 together with the paragraph numbers. Columns two to five list the related section numbers of
Annex 11 Version 1993,
US FDA 21 CFR Part 211,
respectively. Column six lists related section numbers of other official documents, for example
EU Directions 2003/94/EC
Eudralex Volume 4, Good Manufacturing Practices, Documentation
US FDA CPG 7348.810
US FDA 21 CFR Parts 58, 110, 312, 425. 606, 812,
US FDA Part 11 Guide: Electronic Records, Electronic Signatures: Scope and Applications
US FDA Guide: General Principles of Software Validation
US FDA CPG 130.400

GAMP/ISPE, Risk Assessment for Use of Automated Systems
Since the release of the new Version of the EU GMP Annex 11 there are many questions related to implementing Annex 11. EMA has included 10 frequently asked questions and answers on its "Q&A: Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)" website. Some of the questions are generic, for example, about revalidation of computer systems and validation of spreadsheets. Others are specific to Annex 11, for example related to the implementation of requirement that print-outs should indicated any changes to data since the original entry.
Appropriate controls for electronic documents such as templates should be implemented. Are there any specific requirements for templates of spreadsheets?
Which type of accuracy checks (Annex 11 p 6) are expected for use of spreadsheets? (H+V February 2011)
Are there any specific considerations for the validation of spreadsheets? (H+V February 2011)
Which measures are required to ensure data security of databases? (H+V February 2011)
At which phases of the system lifecycle risk management is recommended?
Are user requirements needed as part of the retrospective validation of legacy systems?
When do I have to revalidate computerised systems?
What are the requirements for storage time of electronic data and documents?
Which are the relevant validation efforts for small devices?
What alternative controls are accepted in case a system is not capable to generate printouts indicating if any of the data has been changed since the original entry?
Even though the Q&As have been published by a European Agency many of the questions also came up at our Part 11 related seminars and workshops, so in general the answers are also applicable for FDA regulated industries.
Labcompliance Audio Seminars for Annex 11 Topics
EU agencies expect Annex 11 to be implemented by July 31, 2011. Labcompliance offers help for understanding the principles and requirements but also for implementing different sup paragraphs through a variety of audio seminars. The seminars include life or recorded presentations and 10+ best practice documents for easy implementation. The documents include master plans, SOPs, checklists and examples. The table below lists the seminars along with the Anex 11 chapters.
