21 CFR Part 11 transcends FDA-regulated enterprises

Compliance is also required for suppliers who are selling materials
to the manufacturers of life sciences products. Should a supplier 
not be in compliance, then both the vendor and the manufacturer 
face penalties as specified in the final FDA rule.

A two-page summary of FDA 21 CFR Part 11 is available here:

That link defines enterprises that fall under the rule's jurisdiction,
interesting excerpts from the rule, implications for IT management,
and how Unbeaten Path can help BPCS users comply. 

In substantial ways, 21 CFR part 11 requirements are in 
harmony with the alphabet soup of regulations, acts of Congress, 
and professional standards which are creating an explosion of 
data integrity work for IS departments. 

Here's an index to the ten most prominent regulations:

Should Know About the Exploding Responsibility for Data Integrity."

Andrea,

the Regulation has been narrowed allot because of the reaction of the
pharmaceutical market
basically what's needed is 3 things
1.Audit trail of changes,
2.elcrronic signatures
3.and security (passwords) which there basically

1.SSA is recommending a certain 3rd party product for the auditing trail
which is quit easy to implement
2.they had  released the ES module on version 8 and above (if you really
want you can get them to "downgrade" the fix to an earlier version- that's
what we are planning on doing)

regarding reports on the Audit trail - you have to do it yourself

Does anyone knows if SSA is going to follow with its Iseries products
reporting capabilities matching
21CFR11 requirements or there are any software vendor providing customized
software on 21CFR11 for BPCS products?

Thanks to all upcoming responses
