FDA 21-CFR-11

FDA 21-CFR-Part 11 is a law that ensures FDA-regulated organizations implement good business practices by defining the criteria under which electronic records and signatures are considered to be trustworthy, reliable, confidential, and equivalent to paper records and handwritten signatures on paper. Adept software and validation services support many organizations in compliance with Part 11.

ISO 9001

ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS).

When we start talking about going paperless, most ISO 9001 auditors say ‘oh, that’s interesting’. But then they see that people on the plant floor can get a document they need in Epicor and all those documents are controlled through Adept. So there’s really no chance that something could go wrong. They quickly realize there’s nothing more they need to audit.
