About This Event

Discover the strategic approach and best practices for evaluating Excel spreadsheets used in FDA-regulated activities. This webinar assesses the potential risks associated with spreadsheet failures on data integrity, process quality, and safety, and explores the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) validation approach. Excel is categorized as a GAMP 5 Category 1 system during installation, but once macros or custom functionalities are added, it becomes a GAMP 5 Category 5 system, necessitating validation. This course details the planning and validation activities required for custom Excel applications while covering 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and data integrity best practices. Code: FDB3644
