The GAMP® 5 Guide is a globally recognized and accepted standard for the validation of computerized systems and has been the basis for system validation within the Pharmaceutical industry. Since its first release it has been supplemented by some technical guides, with the goal of deepening the GAMP® 5 coverage. The additional guides, together with the continuous technological evolution, have created the need for a GAMP® 5 update to the second version. As stated by ISPE Board Chair Jörg Zimmermann in April 2022:
“The primary purpose and objective of this revision is the publication of a GAMP® 5 Second Edition, which will provide updates, clarify the relationship between GAMP 5 and the GAMP® 5 Guide: Records and Data Integrity, acknowledgment of current FDA work on Computer Software Assurance (CSA), and an updated, dynamic, and evolving set of Appendices.”
While the overall approach, framework, and key concepts of the Guide remain unchanged, the technical content has been updated mainly to reflect:
- The increased importance of IT service providers, including cloud service providers;
- Evolving approaches to software development including incremental and iterative models and methods;
- Increased use of software tools and automation to achieve greater control, higher quality and lower risks throughout the life cycle.
- The application of new technological areas such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), Blockchain, cloud computing, and Open-Source Software (OSS);
- Introduction of concepts of computerized systems assurance and critical thinking.
With the GAMP 5.2 release, updates in procedures and processes are expected. PQE Group can provide support to your business and ensure the full compliance of your computerized systems.
