Good Automated Manufacturing Practice
(GAMP 5 ®) CSV

Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP 5 ®) sets out principles and procedures that help ensure that pharmaceutical or medical device products have the required quality. GAMP 5 ® details a recognised standard for Computer System Validation (CSV). GAMP 5 ® is both a technical subcommittee of the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) and a set of guidelines for manufacturers and users of automated or computer systems. Primarily intended for the pharmaceutical industry, GAMP 5 ® is also now being adopted as suitable guidance for the Medical Devices industry and other highly regulated industries.

One of the core principles of GAMP ® is that quality cannot be tested into a batch of product or device, but must be built into each stage of the manufacturing process.

As a result, GAMP ® covers all aspects of production; from the raw materials, facilities and equipment to the training and hygiene of staff. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are essential for processes that can affect the quality of the finished product. Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures (ERES) are also covered in GAMP 5 ®.


Life Science Industry suppliers
should follow the spirit of
GAMP 5 ®.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Facility: DCS CSV


"I worked with David [of Zener Engineering Services] on a project to deliver an ABB 800XA DCS system for a Blue Chip Pharmaceutical company. He was the QA lead for the supplier.

We jointly reviewed and approved a very large FAT document set in lieu of a reduced SAT and OQ. David's approach is very professional, critical, but crucially pragmatic.

I enjoyed working with him and would welcome any future opportunities to do so."

Computer System Validation Frequently Asked Questions

ZES answer your Computer System Validation questions.


  • What is Software Validation?

    Software Validation is the process of evaluating software during the development process and or at the end of the development process to determine whether it satisfies specified business requirements. Testing ensures that the product actually meets the client's needs and is suitable for it's intended use.

  • What is Computer System Validation in Pharmaceuticals?

    Computer System Validation (CSV) is the process of ensuring that any technology component (software or hardware) is fulfilling its purpose in line with the regulatory guidelines.

  • What is a Computer System?

    A computer system is a complete, working computer. 


    Computer systems include the computer along with any software and peripheral devices that are necessary to make the computer function. 


    Every computer system, for example, requires an operating system. Most modern 'simple' systems contain a computer system of sorts.


    Automated medical devices will contain a computer system, which needs to be validated.

  • What is GAMP 5?

    GAMP® stands for Good Automated Manufacturing Practice. 

    GAMP®5, it is in reference to a guidance document entitled GAMP®5: A Risk-Based Approach to Compliant GxP Computerized Systems
