The draft of the new chapter refers to data that is generated, collected or used in the context of quality control and highlights its increasing importance in relation to the quality assessment of medicinal products. In particular, if this data is processed or read out using AI (artificial intelligence) and/or ML (machine learning), it is necessary to apply and guarantee a defined quality standard. To this end, the draft of the new chapter sets out specifications and definitions in six sections and several subsections.
