Changing Trends in Laboratory Compliance

Laboratory best practices for meeting regulatory and compendial requirements are changing. FDA’s emerging expectations on data integrity.

Laboratory best practices for meeting regulatory and compendial requirements are changing. FDA’s emerging expectations on data integrity, operational qualification report generation, along with the ISPE GAMP Good Practice Guide for Validation of Computerized Systems have provided the industry with new ways to approach laboratory compliance. In addition, the status of USP Informational Chapter <1058> on analytical instrument qualification is being discussed across the industry and the pharmacopeial body. A stimulus paper is being written on this chapter, offering some revision proposals.

Paul Smith, EMEA and India Compliance Program Manager at Agilent, spoke about these issues and offered some best practices for moving forward in an educational webcast. You can watch the webcast for free on demand here.
