Responsibilities
The responsibility of the personnel associated with computerised systems is to
ensure that they understand the requirements of Computerised System Validation and comply with it. This guideline should be used by individual sites/departments as appropriate to prepare
their own local procedures. Validation and regulatory compliance is the responsibility
of each site/department and should be incorporated into their quality planning. Local
user, IT, controls engineers, laboratory technicians, and QA are expected to take an
active role. The senior management role is usually conducted in conjunction with
QA. Emphasis between roles will vary depending on the nature of the work being
