Integrating Data Integrity within a Risk-Based approach to Compliant GxP Process Control Systems (T21)
Overview
This highly interactive classroom course describes how the GAMP Good Practice Guide: A Risk-Based Approach to Compliant GxP Process Control Systems, and GAMP RDI Good Practice Guide: Data Integrity - Manufacturing Records may be applied to achieve process control systems that are fit for intended use, incorporate data integrity and meet current regulatory requirements. The course covers recommended good practice based on a lifecycle approach for the development and management of process control systems and shows how the principles and concepts of GAMP 5 may be practically applied to process control systems. It looks at the data created by the process control system through the data lifecycle to understand how to protect against threats to data integrity. The course covers both regulated company and supplier quality management systems and the full system life cycle from concept to retirement.
What You Will Learn
- A comprehensive overview of current good practice for GxP regulated process control systems including data integrity

Additional Course Details
This course shows how appropriate quality risk management, planning, specification, implementation, verification and reporting activities should be an integral part of the normal system life cycle. Many suppliers of systems now have mature quality management systems and the course promotes the leveraging of supplier documentation and activities to avoid unnecessary duplication, cost and waste.
Practical “hands-on” workshop exercises using case study examples have been included to illustrate the approach covering a wide range of systems from basic equipment and instruments to large, complex, Distributed Control Systems.
The course concentrates on features of the system life cycle that are special, or particularly relevant, to process control systems including:
- Multiple components and multiple suppliers
- Interfaces to a physical process being controlled in real-time
- The degree of embedding of the computer system with the process equipment
- Interfaces introduced by phasing of delivery
These are analyzed in terms of both process functionality and data integrity
