What is GAMP®?

GAMP logo

GAMP® guidance aims to safeguard patient safety, product quality, and data integrity in the use of GxP computerized systems. It aims to achieve computerized systems that are fit for intended use and meet current regulatory requirements by building upon existing industry good practice in an efficient and effective manner.  GAMP® adopts a patient-centric risk-based approach that enables innovation while demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements. GAMP® is an ISPE Community of Practice (CoP).

GAMP® provides practical guidance that:

  • Facilitates the interpretation of regulatory requirements
  • Establishes a common language and terminology
  • Promotes a system life cycle approach based on good practice
  • Clarifies roles and responsibilities

GAMP® guidance does not define a prescriptive method or a standard, but rather provides pragmatic guidance, approaches, and tools for the practitioner.

The ISPE GAMP® 5 Guide: A Risk-Based Approach to Compliant GxP Computerized Systems Second Edition aims to protect patient safety, product quality, and data integrity by facilitating and encouraging the achievement of computerized systems that are effective, reliable, and of high quality.  Technological innovation is essential for life sciences industries in providing value to society while also controlling costs and reducing time to market. The Guide facilitates the effective and efficient use of valuable resources by the application of appropriate and proportionate practices, encouraging innovative approaches to managing risk to patient safety, product quality, and data integrity, while supporting benefit to public health.
