Details

Raw data covers not only the first observation but the metadata and subsequent processing records needed to reconstruct a GMP activity completely. Inspections cite the printout kept as the only official record, or deleted injections, reprocessing, and informal notes excluded, so that the original result and the decision cannot be reconstructed. Check together the electronic files of the method and the analytical system, audit trails, metadata, the calculation and reprocessing history, and the retention and review procedures.
