Part 11 Alignment
§11.10 record controls built in
System access controls, audit trails, record retention, and authority checks are implemented at the platform level — not configured separately per workflow.
Compliance Topic
Electronic Records & Signatures
FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11 controls for electronic records and approval signatures.
FDA 21 CFR Part 11 establishes the technical and procedural controls required for electronic records and electronic signatures to be considered trustworthy equivalents to paper records. Complere implements the §11.10 and §11.50 requirements across every quality workflow — from document approvals and CAPA sign-off to training records and audit findings — so regulated teams can replace wet-ink signatures with confidence.
Key Benefits
How this module improves quality operations, reduces compliance risk, and supports inspection readiness for regulated teams.
Meaningful Signatures
Approval intent is explicit and linked
Each signature captures the action type (approve, reject, review), the user's intent statement, and the record context — meeting the §11.50 manifestation requirement.
Annex 11 Posture
EU GMP computerized system controls
Complere addresses Annex 11 requirements for access control, audit trail, change control, backup, and business continuity relevant to regulated European operations.
Workflow Overview
How Complere supports the workflow
Each step in this workflow is supported by governed records, electronic signatures, and a full audit trail — so quality operations stay traceable and inspection-ready.
01
User is authenticated
Unique user identity confirmed via password, SSO, or MFA before any quality action is permitted.
02
Workflow reaches sign-off point
A governed quality step requires signature — document approval, CAPA closure, training confirmation.
03
Signature event is captured
User re-confirms identity, selects the meaning of the action, and the system timestamps and links the signature to the record.
04
Trail is locked and retrievable
The signed record and its signature context are protected from alteration and can be retrieved for inspection at any time.
Platform Capabilities
The specific controls, features, and workflow functions built into this module to support your quality and compliance objectives.
§11.10(a)
Validation and system accuracy
Complere's CSV programme ensures the system operates accurately and consistently throughout its validated lifetime.
§11.10(d)
Limiting system access to authorized users
Role-based access controls, session management, and user provisioning workflows restrict system entry to individuals with defined responsibilities.
§11.10(e)
Secure, computer-generated audit trails
Independent, tamper-evident audit trails are generated automatically — users cannot edit or delete trail entries.
§11.50
Signature manifestation and meaning
Every electronic signature displays the signer's name, the date and time of signing, and the meaning of the signature (approval, review, or other action).
