Background
In an initial concept paper on the planned revision of the EU GMP guideline Annex 11 ‘Computerised Systems’ in November 2022, the planned changes and content of the new document became clear. Originally planned for the end of 2024 and expected for months, the draft revision of the EU GMP Guidance Annex 11 ‘Computerised Systems’, the draft of the completely new Annex 22 ‘Artificial Intelligence’ and the draft revision of Chapter 4 ‘Documentation’ were presented at the same time on 7 July 2025. All 3 documents can be commented on until 7 October 2025, preferably by ‘Stakeholder Organisations’ but also by anyone else.
The event will mainly focus on the draft of Annex 11 and its links to Chapter 4 ‘Documentation’. Although only a draft, the contents of the final document are clearly recognisable in the document. Therefore, in addition to a critical presentation of the document, missing topics as well as possible consequences for pharmaceutical practice will be discussed.
Target Group
The event is aimed at employees from the pharmaceutical and medical devices industry and their suppliers. It is aimed at employees who deal with current regulatory developments on IT in the European Environment.
