EU GMP Annex 11
Computerised Systems
Supported by the platform

Governs computerised systems used in activities covered by EU Good Manufacturing Practice (2011 version, currently in force).

Clauses 4.1–4.8Validation across the system lifecycle, with documentation and testing.
Clauses 7.1–7.2Data secured and accessible throughout the retention period, with regular backups and verified restore.
Clause 9System-generated audit trail for GMP-relevant changes and deletions, with the reason recorded.
Clauses 12.1–12.4Access limited to authorized people, with access grants recorded along with the identity of whoever enters, changes or deletes data.
Clause 14Electronic signatures permanently linked to their record, with date and time.
How DROME supports this requirement

IQ/OQ/PQ documentation to support your validation, an immutable audit trail, role-based access control and automated backup with a documented recovery SLA.

What does EU GMP Annex 11 require from a computerised system?

Annex 11 (2011) requires validation across the lifecycle (clause 4), secured data with verified backups (clause 7), an audit trail with the reason for each change (clause 9), access control (clause 12) and electronic signatures linked to the record (clause 14). DROME provides these controls and IQ/OQ/PQ documentation; validation belongs to the regulated user.

EU GDP Guidelines
Good Distribution Practice
Supported by the platform

European Commission guidelines (2013/C 343/01) on the distribution of medicinal products for human use, including temperature control during storage and transport.

Temperature controlTemperature monitoring and logging in storage areas.
MappingDocumented temperature mapping of storage areas.
Equipment qualificationQualification of refrigeration equipment.
TransportTemperature control during transport.
Deviations and CAPATemperature deviation management with documented CAPA.
How DROME supports this requirement

Continuous monitoring, automatic temperature mapping, documented equipment qualification and integrated CAPA workflows.

What do the EU GDP Guidelines require on temperature?

The EU GDP Guidelines require temperature monitoring and records in storage, mapping of storage areas, qualified equipment, temperature control in transport and deviation management with CAPA. DROME monitors continuously, produces mapping reports and records every deviation.

EU GMP Annex 15
Qualification & Validation
Validation package available

Sets requirements for qualifying facilities, equipment and utilities and for validating processes (2015 version).

Sec. 3Qualification stages: URS, DQ, IQ, OQ and PQ.
Sec. 4Periodic requalification to confirm equipment remains in a qualified state.
Sec. 11Change control with assessment of the impact on the validated state.
How DROME supports this requirement

Pre-written IQ/OQ/PQ protocols to support your qualification, audited version control, integrated change control and automated periodic reviews.

What does EU GMP Annex 15 require for qualification?

Annex 15 (2015) organizes qualification in stages (URS, DQ, IQ, OQ and PQ, section 3), requires periodic requalification (section 4) and change control (section 11). DROME supplies pre-written IQ/OQ/PQ protocols and records platform changes; execution and approval stay with the customer.

GAMP 5
Good Automated Manufacturing Practice
Category 4 documentation available

ISPE framework adopted by the European pharmaceutical industry for the development, validation and maintenance of computerised systems.

Category 4Configurable software requires configuration testing and a functional specification.
Category 5Custom software requires a full validated development lifecycle.
LifecycleManagement of the entire system lifecycle, including decommissioning.
Risk-basedValidation effort proportional to the risk to product quality.
How DROME supports this requirement

DROME falls under Category 4 (configurable software). Documentation for this category is available, including the functional specification and test protocols.

Which GAMP 5 category does DROME fall under?

DROME is configurable software, which places it in GAMP 5 Category 4: configuration testing and a functional specification are expected. DROME supplies the functional specification and test protocols; the final classification comes from the customer's risk assessment.
