## Service

GAMP 5 compliance programmes for Pharma, Biotech and MedTech in DACH. Programmatic transition to ISPE GAMP 5 Second Edition (2022) — Critical Thinking, risk-based validation, FDA CSA alignment.

## Target audience

- IT directors modernising an existing CSV framework to GAMP 5 Second Edition
- Validation managers re-classifying software categories (Cat 3 / 4 / 5)
- QA leads building inspection arguments against GAMP 5 standards

## Methodology

Three annex priorities from GAMP 5 Second Edition (2022):

- **Annex M4 — Critical Thinking:** Test depth follows the risk profile of each individual control, argued per test script in the validation dossier — not measured by script count.
- **Annex M5 — Testing of Computerized Systems:** Risk-based test strategy with documented selection rationale.
- **Annex 21 — Patches & Sub-Releases:** Patch validation as a managed process, not as ad-hoc re-validation.

## Applicable standards

- **ISPE GAMP 5 Second Edition (July 2022)** — primary reference
- **FDA Computer Software Assurance — Final Guidance (2022)** — methodologically aligned with GAMP 5 Critical Thinking. CSA aligns with GAMP 5: one programme serves both standards.
- **21 CFR Part 11** — Electronic Records, Electronic Signatures
- **EU GMP Annex 11** — Computerised Systems
- **ICH Q9(R1)** — Quality Risk Management

## Typical outcomes (self-reported)

- Significantly reduced effort at comparable audit certainty (Critical Thinking)
- 100% audit pass rate in dhc-supported GAMP 5 inspections
- 0 critical findings on systems under dhc responsibility
