This is a practical based workshop which explores the development of CSV methodologies and practices aligned with the update of the ISPE GAMP®5 Guide.


A risk-based approach to CSV is not new, but GAMP®5 Second Edition introduces different ways of thinking and challenges the broadly linear approach previously used. It provides a framework for a more iterative and incremental model. A number of new appendices have been added to cover supplier involvement as well as cloud computing, software testing tools, artificial intelligence, machine learning, block chain to address development of new technologies introduced since the issue of the first GAMP®5 Guide in 2008.


As software and computerised systems become more complex, in order to determine where additional rigor may be appropriate, regulators would expect to see a robust Quality Risk Management processes in use. Understanding and adapting testing activities to provide objective evidence and assurance is critical to fulfil regulatory expectations. Focusing the validation effort, and validating systems for their intended use will not only align with GAMP®5 Second Edition and regulatory expectations, but will also reduce the cost and time burden when introducing new systems and maintaining compliance of existing systems.


This workshop will provide a framework to critically assess the new features in GAMP®5 Second Edition and will enable the delegates to develop methods, tools and an action plan for implementation at their workplaces


This workshop is aimed at SMEs, managers and leaders working in Validation, Quality, IT, OTI, Software & System Development, Engineering and Controls supporting pharmaceutical and Life Science sectors.
