New GAMP SIG Explores Computer Software Assurance
ISPE GAMP® has led the way in computerized systems best practices for more than 30 years. GAMP brought us the concept of system lifecycles and leveraged the V-model to give us a structured approach to computerized systems validation (CSV). GAMP developed and adopted the risk-based approach to CSV, enabling industry to focus validation efforts on critical systems and functionality.
Now, GAMP has formed the Global Computer Software Assurance Special Interest Group (GAMP CSA SIG) to empower industry to use CSA and critical thinking within the GAMP computerized system validation paradigm to maximize validation efficiency and fitness for intended use.
The objective of this SIG is to help shape the application of CSA based on GAMP principles and the practical CSV experience of ISPE members; this global SIG will help foster and guide local CSA discussions and provide consistent global messaging.
The SIG leaders are:
The first online meeting of the SIG is on Tuesday 12 July at 12pm EST / 5pm BST / 6pm CEST. During this meeting, you will meet the SIG leaders and hear first-hand from Francisco Vicenty (FDA Case for Quality Program Manager) about his vision for CSA.
