21 CFR Part 11

Total Confidence. Absolute Integrity.

21 CFR Part 11 establishes requirements for electronic records and electronic signatures in regulated industries. This includes pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, and food products (human and veterinary). Companies in these industries that do business in the United States, as well as providers of raw materials and components to pharmaceutical companies and contract labs commissioned to perform analysis work, must all operate to ensure that electronic records and electronic signatures are trustworthy and reliable.

Key requirements of 21 CFR Part 11:

  • Electronic records must be created, maintained, and archived in a way that ensures their authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality
  • Electronic signatures must be used in a way that is equivalent to handwritten signatures
  • Companies must have procedures in place to control access to electronic records and electronic signatures
  • Companies must have a system in place to audit electronic records and electronic signatures

21 CFR Part 11 is designed to protect the safety of consumers by ensuring the accuracy and reliability of electronic records and electronic signatures. By complying with these requirements, companies can help to ensure that their products are safe and effective.
