Implementing a Robust Change Control Program - Key Elements for Process and Documentation Compliance

Recorded Session
90 Minutes

Regulators expect pharmaceutical and medical device companies to manage every change to facilities, products and quality systems in a systematic way. This 90-minute change control training explains how to build a change control program that is compliant and effective.

Change is inevitable, so a robust program is needed to make sure unnecessary or cGMP-impacting changes don't slip through. Documentation, including authoring, updates and archiving, is a critical part of the process and is required by health authorities worldwide.

The course reviews regulatory expectations from the FDA, EU and ICH perspectives, the required components of a thorough change control program, and what it takes to manage the system successfully.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Weak change control lets uncontrolled changes reach products, facilities and quality systems, and regulators worldwide require documented, systematic change management. This course shows how to meet FDA, EU and ICH expectations and keep change records complete.

It suits anyone involved in change control or quality systems in manufacturing, facilities or quality roles, including production, IT, facilities and engineering, validation, QC, QA and regulatory affairs.
