Summary

A full rewrite of Annex 11, published for consultation with the revised Chapter 4 and the new Annex 22. It expands expectations on supplier oversight, data integrity, audit trails, identity and access, cloud and outsourced services. Not yet in force: the 2011 Annex 11 still applies.

The current EU GMP annex for computerised systems used in GMP-regulated activities. It covers risk management, validation, data, audit trails, security, electronic signatures, periodic evaluation and business continuity. It stays in force until the revised Annex 11 is published and comes into operation.
