FDA HOLDING PUBLIC MEETING ON ELECTRONIC RECORDS AND SIGNATURES
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) are cosponsoring a public meeting on industry experience in implementing the technical provisions of Title 21, Part 11, of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures. All interested persons are invited to participate in the meeting that will be held June 19 and 20, 2000, at the Wyndham Franklin Plaza Hotel, 17th and Race Streets, Philadelphia, PA 19103, 215-448-2000.
The purpose of the meeting is to exchange information on (1) the range of experiences persons subject to Part 11 have had in implementing the rule's technical provisions, and (2) available products and services that enable implementation of those requirements. This will not be a forum to discuss the merits of the rule, nor a tutorial on the regulation; meeting attendees should have a basic understanding of Part 11. Information presented at the event will assist FDA in developing future industry guidance documents with respect to Part 11.
FDA invites interested persons to give brief presentations about their experiences in implementing one or more of Part 11's technical provisions. Likewise, the Agency invites persons who provide enabling technologies specific to those requirements to give presentations addressing how they have been and can be applied to FDA regulated industries. In all cases, presentations must not exceed 20 minutes. Of particular interest would be presentations regarding modifications to electronic recordkeeping systems that were in use before August 20, 1997 (so called legacy systems.)
Individuals who would like to make a presentation at this meeting should send a brief abstract (no longer than one page), along with the speaker's name, affiliation, title, postal address, fax and phone numbers, and electronic mail address to:
Parenteral Drug Association
