It provides guidance on and examples of the application of the principles and framework of GAMP^® 5: A Risk-Based Approach to Compliant GxP Computerized Systems to a wide range of systems, from basic instruments to large, complex, distributed control systems.

The goal of this Guide is to help users achieve process control systems that are fit for intended use and compliant with applicable regulations. It also provides recommended good practices based on a life cycle approach for the development, maintenance, and management of process control systems.

The Guide applies science-based Quality Risk Management, as described in ICH Q9 and GAMP^® 5.
