Complying With Batch Release: Auditing Electronic Batch Records

Within pharmaceuticals, perhaps the most important computerized system is the electronic batch record.

This article presents some advice for auditing electronic batch records to assess their current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) status. This is useful in the qualification stage and essential once the electronic record system is in operation. It is only through conducting rigorous audits that the pharmaceutical organization can stay ahead of the regulatory expectations.
