CFR Part 11 Support

What is CFR Part 11

CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) is a regulatory framework issued by the U.S. government. CFR Part 11, established by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), specifically regulates the use of electronic records and electronic signatures in pharmaceuticals, medical devices, clinical trials, and scientific research within regulated industries.

This regulation ensures that:

  • Electronic records have the same legal validity as paper records.

  • lectronic signatures have the same legal validity as handwritten signatures.

Typical Use Cases

The CFR Part 11 module is mainly applicable to the following scenarios:

  • Pharmaceutical Companies: Replace paper-based signatures in drug development, clinical trials, and production quality control to meet FDA audit requirements.

  • Healthcare Institutions: Use electronic signatures in laboratory reports and medical record archiving to ensure data integrity and immutability.

  • Medical Device Companies: Apply electronic signatures in product design verification and quality processes to comply with FDA review standards.

  • Global Operations: Help enterprises meet compliance requirements in international markets, improving product certification and sales efficiency.
