GAMP 5® – Good Automated Manufacturing Practises

Production systems for the pharmaceutical and food industries have to comply with ever-stricter legislation, including regulations of the European Medicine Agency (EMA) and Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Although Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP) is not a mandatory legislation, it provides important guidelines for companies involved in the development and/or implementation of automated systems. Let’s explain GAMP 5®.

What is GAMP 5®?

GAMP 5® (ISPE) can be regarded as a structured approach for the validation of automated systems. Currently, version 5 of GAMP (GAMP 5 ®) has a definitive status, with no version 6 in the pipeline. Compared to previous versions, the emphasis is more on risk control and quality management.

By correctly interpreting and applying the GAMP 5® guideline, companies working in regulated industries can ensure automated systems quality. It also becomes a lot easier for them to pass audits and government inspections. QbD has an extensive knowledge base and experience related to GAMP 5®. Among others, we help companies to:

  • ensure that automated systems and processes that are to be delivered, are clear;
  • implement a system life cycle approach from a quality perspective;
  • make the activities of the life cycle scalable;
  • apply scientifically based risk management;
  • leverage as much knowledge and as many documents from suppliers as possible.
