5 Introduction Regulation 21 CFR Part 11 "Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures" (ER/ES) of the US regulatory agency Food and Drug Administration (FDA) went into effect on August 20, CFR Part 11: (in short: Part 11) defines the criteria for acceptance by FDA for the use of electronic records and electronic signatures in place of records in paper form and handwritten signatures on paper. In this regard, electronic records and signatures must be as trustworthy, reliable and effective as traditional records. Application of this rule is mandatory for the use of electronic records and signatures. However, Part 11 applies only to records that are required to be maintained according to FDA guidelines (as defined by so-called "predicate rules") or to records that are required to be submitted to the FDA in electronic form. There are various interpretations and recommendations from the FDA as well as from the ISPE and PDA. Beyond the use of electronic records and signatures, traditional paper documents and handwritten signatures, or a combination of both, can still be used. To help its clients, Siemens as a supplier of SIMATIC WinCC flexible, evaluated its systems in regard to these rules. This paper publishes the assessment results of the SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2007 HMI software. SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2007 fully complies with the functional requirements of 21 CFR Part 11. Operation in conformity with the regulations is ensured in conjunction with organizational measures and procedural controls to be established by the client. Siemens recommendations for system architecture, design and configuration will assist the client in achieving compliance. For additional information and assistance see "GMP Engineering Manual: SIMATIC WinCC flexible Guidelines for Implementing Automation Projects in a GMP Environment". The FDA standards are also applied beyond the pharmaceuticals industry in other life sciences (such as the food industry, cosmetics and consumer care, etc.). The requirements of Part 11 are open to interpretation. This document supports the current interpretation of the ISPE CoP GAMP and PDA that is accepted worldwide. If the interpretation of a requirement by a company differs from the requirement specified here, please contact the Competence Center Pharmaceuticals of Siemens AG, Industry Sector, Industry Automation division in Karlsruhe for more information. This document comprises three parts. The first part provides a brief overview of the requirements of Part 11, the second provides the solutions for the main technical requirements from the viewpoint of SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2007 and the third contains a detailed system evaluation according to ISPE / PDA 1. 1 Good Practice and Compliance for Electronic Records and Signatures; Part 2 "Complying with 21 CFR Part 11, Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures"; ISPE and PDA 2001 A5E

7 1 Overview of FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Requirements 21 CFR Part 11 takes into account that the risk of falsification, misinterpretation and changes without trace is higher with electronic records and electronic signatures than with conventional paper records and handwritten signatures, or are more difficult to detect. Additional measures are required for this reason. "Electronic Record / Electronic Document" means any combination of text, graphics, data, audio, pictorial or other representation of information in digital form that is created, modified, maintained, archived, retrieved or distributed by a computer system. 2 "Electronic Signature" means a computer data compilation of any symbol or series of symbols executed, adopted or authorized by an individual to be the legally binding equivalent of the individual s handwritten signature. 1 Requirement Validation Audit Trails Record Retention, Protection, Reproducibility and Retrievability Documentation Controls Access security Electronic Signature Certificate to FDA Description All GMP-relevant automated systems must be validated to ensure precise, reliable and consistent data preparation in accordance with the standards. All operator actions which create, modify or delete an electronic data record must be recorded in a secure, time-stamped, computer-generated audit trail. Systems must have the capability to retain, protect and readily retrieve records throughout the configurable retention period. Systems must be able to reproduce electronic records in both human-readable and electronic form. Controls must exist over access to, revision of, distribution of, and use of documentation for system operation and maintenance. Access to electronic records must be restricted exclusively to authorized and qualified personnel. In open systems, additional security measures must be implemented to ensure this access control (see also 21 CFR Part 11.30). Systems must provide measures to ensure that use of an electronic signature is limited to genuine owners only and that attempted use by others is promptly detected and recorded. Non-biometric systems must employ two distinct identification mechanisms (user ID / password). Both user ID and password must be entered before the signature is made, and at least the password must be entered at each subsequent signing during the same session. Electronic signatures must not be reused or reassigned. The purpose of an electronic signature must be clearly indicated. Finally, systems must include measures to prohibit falsification of electronic signatures using standard tools. Written policies must be in place which hold individuals responsible for actions initiated under their electronic signatures. Written certification must be provided to the FDA Office of Regional Operations that all electronic signatures in use are the legally binding equivalent of traditional handwritten signatures. 2 Good Practice and Compliance for Electronic Records and Signatures; Part 2 "Complying with 21 CFR Part 11, Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures"; ISPE and PDA 2001 A5E

9 2 Response of SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2007 to 21 CFR Part 11 The requirements which can be fulfilled by technological solutions can be summarized under four topics: Access security Audit Trail Archiving and retrieval of records Electronic Signature 2.1 Technological Solution for Access Protection The user management configuration is performed centrally on an engineering system for each application and uploaded from there to the respective HMI device (PC or panel). WinCC flexible 2007 supports both local and centralized user management to ensure protection of electronic records. Local user management With local user management, individual users and their assignment to user groups are only known locally. Individual users and their assignment to user groups are defined in the WinCC flexible configuration. Based on user groups, authorizations with authorization levels are defined in the WinCC flexible user administration. Fig. 1 displays the assignment of group rights to user groups A5E

10 The following requirements for access protection are met in this way: Users can only log on to the HMI device with a unique combination of user ID and password. Users can change their own password locally on the HMI device. The following settings with regard to password security are possible: Password with at least one special character Password with at least one digit Minimum password length between 3 and 24 characters Password expiration is supported, and the validity period of a password and the number of generations can be configured. The system can force the user to change the initial password. The user is automatically blocked after three incorrect logon attempts and can only be unlocked by the administrator. The system automatically logs off users after a specified period of time with no activity. Log functions for actions related to access protection in the audit trail, such as logon, manual and automatic logoff, input of wrong user ID or wrong password, user blocked after several attempts to enter incorrect, and password change by user. Fig. 2 displays the configuration on the safety settings of the user administration 10 A5E

11 Centralized user administration Centralized user administration is implemented with the software package SIMATIC Logon 3. SIMATIC Logon is installed on a central computer with an MS Windows operating system (the operating systems supported can be found in the Release Notes of SIMATIC Logon). User management based on MS Windows security mechanisms is set up there. The HMI devices are connected to the computer via Ethernet. Individual users and their assignment to Windows user groups are defined in the Windows user administration. Based on user groups, authorizations with authorization levels are defined in the WinCC flexible user administration. SIMATIC Logon provides the link between the Windows user groups and the WinCC flexible user groups. In the event of the interruption of the network connection, local users can be used to maintain operation. SIMATIC Logon users who are already logged on (central users) remain active until logoff. SIMATIC Logon fulfills the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 regarding access protection in combination with procedural controls, such as those for "clarifying the responsibility and access permission of the system users". In addition, unauthorized access to the directory structures of the individual system programs should be prevented using the rights allocation of the Windows operating system, thus excluding the chance of unwanted manipulation. If system access is not controlled by individuals who are responsible for the content of the electronic records, the system is defined as "open". If there is an "open path", this path can be secured using standard tools. 3 From SIMATIC Logon V1.4.1 (V1.4 SP1) A5E

12 2.2 Technological Solution for Audit Trail Audit trails are particularly important in situations in which users can create, modify or delete data during normal operation for standardized process documentation in electronic form. WinCC flexible 2007 supports the requirement for audit trail of operator actions which are GMP-relevant by recording such actions in an audit trail log file. The GMP relevant data is defined by the client based on the applicable legal guidelines. We distinguish between changes made during the production or runtime phase of the system from changes made during the offline or configuration phase. Runtime phase The relevant data to be tracked in the audit trail during runtime can be configured on the engineering system. The required information for each record is recorded in a log file. The saved information includes the object name, the old value, new value, date and time stamp, as well as user ID and optionally the reason for the change. Fig. 3: A tag is defined as GMP-relevant so that an audit trail entry is created every time the user changes a value. 12 A5E

13 The audit trail is saved as a CSV file. An integrated algorithm automatically forms a checksum for each record and enables the user to detect manual changes. The audit trail file can be directed to external network resources, which simplifies backup and archiving. Configuration phase Fig. 4: The audit viewer displays the audit trail and confirms with the green signal lamp that the audit trail has not been manipulated. The WinCC flexible 2007 option Change Control enables the tracking of engineering changes in WinCC flexible 2007 projects including archives, alarm displays and graphics, definition of access rights, etc. The project versions are fully reproducible and can be rolled back. The respective project version can also be identified in the audit trail of the runtime. Fig. 5 displays the change log which records the modified configuration in a log file. A5E

14 2.3 Technological Solution for Archiving and Retrieval Process data Registered process data (messages, process values) can be swapped out for long-term archiving as CSV files to local volumes or via the network manually, based on a predefined frequency or process triggered. Depending on the duration of the archiving period, the process data are saved in sequence or circular archives either as CSV files or on a PC platform in ODBC databases (e.g. MS SQL server). You can use all media intended for long-term storage and supported by Windows. Recipe data records (parameters) are managed in an internal format by the system and can be exported and imported in CSV format if desired. In the case of local long-term archiving, the process data can still be displayed on the panel. In the case of long-term archiving over the network, data can be displayed with the help of a spreadsheet or can be imported and displayed by the Premium add-on PM- QUALITY. Audit Trail The audit trail of operator actions during the runtime phase are recorded as an endless archive in the audit trail. These data are transferred from the HMI device to a network PC or local storage medium (CF card) depending on a preset time or the local storage capacity. You can specify the path to the long-term storage location of this audit trail file to guarantee availability of this data. The data can then be saved to other media, such as CD, from this storage location. The audit trail data can be displayed and printed with the WinCC Audit Viewer. 14 A5E

15 2.4 Technological Solution for Electronic Signatures WinCC flexible 2007 supports electronic signatures for user actions. During the configuration phase, administrators can specify which object may require an electronic signature upon change. Users can sign electronically and confirm the intended action by entering their password. This electronic signature is saved in the audit trail along with the user name, the action performed and an additional comment. The comment can be configured as optional or mandatory for each object. Fig. 6: The modification of a tag value is signed electronically, taking into account the mandatory comment. A5E

17 3 Evaluation List for SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2007 The questions or requirements of the following checklist used for evaluation of Part 11- Conformity of SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2007 are based on the Good Practice Guide by ISPE and PDA 4. Some of the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 have to be met through the implementation of corresponding procedural controls by the client. The specifications of 21 CFR Part 11 always relate to the client specific application, which was implemented with WinCC flexible This means the solutions then specified are valid only in conjunction with specific procedural controls and organizational measures. 3.1 Procedures and Controls for Closed Systems If system access is controlled by individuals who are responsible for the content of the electronic records, then the system is defined as closed and must be assessed against the requirements of this section. Paragraph/ Item 11.10(a) Item (a) Item 2 Questions / Requirements Is the system validated? Is it possible to detect invalid or altered records? Comments The client is responsible for the validation of the applications/system. The validation should follow an established system life cycle (SLC) methodology, e.g. as described in GAMP 4 5. SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2007 has been developed according to the Siemens Quality Management system (ISO 9001:2000 certified). The validation of the application can be supported by Siemens during projects upon request. This is done by creating an audit trail of operator actions. The Audit Trail Viewer displays available data records. The data to be logged in the audit trail are labeled during configuration by the "GMP-relevant" setting. A checksum is calculated for each data record and integrated in the audit trail. This process will help detect any manipulations to the audit trail. The required information for each record is recorded in a log file. The saved information includes the object name, the old value, new value, date and time stamp, as well as user ID and optionally the reason for the change. Changes within the configuration of WinCC flexible can be tracked with the option Change Control. 4 Good Practice and Compliance for Electronic Records and Signatures; Part 2 "Complying with 21 CFR Part 11, Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures"; ISPE and PDA GAMP 4 Guide for Validation of Automated Systems, ISPE 2001 A5E

18 Paragraph/ Item 11.10(b) Item (b) Item (c) 11.10(d) 11.10(e) Item (e) Item (e) Item (e) Item 4 Questions / Requirements Is the system capable of producing accurate and complete copies of electronic records on paper? Is the system capable of producing accurate and complete copies of records in electronic form for inspection, review and copying by the FDA? Are the records readily retrievable throughout their retention period? Is system access limited to authorized individuals? Is there a secure, computergenerated, time-stamped audit trail that records the date and time of operator entries and actions that create, modify, or delete electronic records? If a change is made to electronic data, is previously recorded information still available? (or is it, for example, obscured by the change?) Is the audit trail of an electronic record retrievable throughout the entire retention period of the record? Is the audit trail available for review and copying by the FDA? Comments The process data (process values, alarms and messages) can be transferred to a network resource and are then available to other applications for printing. The audit trail can be displayed and printed with the WinCC Audit Viewer. Both process data and audit trails are generated as CSV files and can be saved to a network resource. The system uses resources available over a network to save the data over time. From there records can be archived in a readable format, e.g. on CD or DVD. We assume that these devices and formats will also be readable in the future. Clients should also specify retention periods and define procedures for archiving, backup and retrieval of electronic records. All options for user management from Windows are provided by implementing centralized user administration with SIMATIC Logon. With local user management, only authorized individuals can log on to the system using their user ID and password. In this case, the local runtime security settings are applied (see section 2, Technological Solution for Access Protection). Client should ensure that only individuals who have a legitimate reason to use the system should be granted physical access to the system (e. g. HMI devices, engineering system). Because this requirement is virtually the same as 11.10(g), it is generally interpreted to refer to both physical access and logical access. The audit trail is secure within the system and cannot be changed by a user. Changes during production can be traced back by the system itself and contain information with time stamp, user ID, old and new value and comment. The old and new value are recorded in the audit trail when changes are made to parameter values via the user interface. Process data which are electronically recorded by the system cannot be modified by the user via the user interface. The audit trail can be made available during the entire retention period. (see (c)) Availability is ensured by logging in a separate CSV file. 18 A5E

19 Paragraph/ Item 11.10(f) 11.10(g) 11.10(h) 11.10(i) 11.10(j) 11.10(k) Item (k) Item 2 Questions / Requirements If the sequence of system steps or events is important, is this also taken into account by the system (e.g. as would be the case in a process control system)? Does the system ensure that only authorized individuals can use the system, electronically sign records, access the operation or the computer system input or output devices, alter a record, or perform other operations? If it is a requirement of the system that input data or instructions can only come from certain input devices (e.g. terminals), does the system check the validity of the source of any data or instructions received? (Comment: This applies where data or instructions can come from more than one device, and the system must therefore verify the integrity of its source, such as a network of weigh scales, or remote, radio-controlled terminals.) Is there documented training, including on-the-job training for system users, developers, IT support staff? Is there a written policy that holds individuals fully accountable and responsible for actions initiated under their electronic signatures? Is the distribution of, access to, and use of system operation and maintenance documentation controlled? Is there a formal control procedure for revisions to system documentation that maintains a time-sequenced audit trail for those changes made by the pharmaceutical company? Comments A specific sequence of operator actions can be realized by configuring the application accordingly. WinCC flexible 2007 provides local user management with user groups, authorizations and users. It thereby regulates the administration of system access as well as individual authorizations. The use of an electronic signature requires password input. Centralized user administration can be implemented with SIMATIC Logon (see (d)). The WinCC flexible devices can be configured so that special input of data / commands can only be performed from a dedicated workstation or from a group of dedicated workstations. All other workstations then have only read-access rights at the most. Siemens offers either standard training courses or training related to client projects, which must be planned and executed separately. The client is responsible for initiating and planning these trainings. Clients are responsible for providing procedural controls. Clients are responsible for providing procedural controls. Clients are responsible for providing procedural controls. A5E

20 3.2 Additional Procedures and Controls for Open Systems If system access is NOT controlled by individuals who are responsible for the content of the electronic records, the system is defined as "open" and must in addition be assessed against the requirements of this section. We recommend using WinCC flexible 2007 as a closed system. Paragraph/ Item Item Item 2 Questions / Requirements Is data encrypted? Are digital signatures used? Comments WinCC flexible was designed for operation in closed systems. For operation in open systems, the "open path" of the data transfer has to be protected by means of commercially available standard tools. WinCC flexible was designed for operation in closed systems. For operation in open systems, the "open path" of the data transfer has to be protected by means of commercially available standard tools. 3.3 Signed Electronic Records See also Section 2 (System Solutions for Electronic Signatures) Paragraph/ Item Questions / Requirements Comments Item Item 2 Do signed electronic records contain the following information? Printed name of the signer Date and time of signing Meaning of the signature (such as approval, review, responsibility) Is the information mentioned above shown on displayed and printed copies of the electronic record? Are signatures linked to their respective electronic records to ensure that they cannot be cut, copied, or otherwise transferred to other records for the purpose of falsification? Signed electronic records also include the following information: a) User ID of the signer b) Date and time of signing c) Including the meaning The above-mentioned information is part of the audit trail and can be printed and displayed. The electronic signature is a component of the signed record within the audit trail. It is protected against change by the integrated checksum. 20 A5E

21 3.4 Electronic Signatures (General) Paragraph/ Item (a) Item (a) Item (b) Questions / Requirements Are electronic signatures unique to an individual? Are electronic signatures ever reused by, or reassigned to, anyone else? Is the identity of an individual verified before an electronic signature is allocated? Comments The electronic signature uses the user's user ID and password. The uniqueness of the user ID is ensured by the MS Windows security system when SIMATIC Logon is used. It is not possible to define two users with the same user ID within a workgroup / domain. If local user management is used, the uniqueness of the user ID and the combination of user ID and password are ensured with WinCC flexible. In addition, the client must ensure the uniqueness of the electronic signature to an individual. The client has to ensure and is responsible that a user ID is assigned to one individual only. This remains the responsibility of the client. He must provide organizational measures Electronic Signatures (Non-biometric) Paragraph/ Item (a)(1)(i) (a)(1)(ii) (a)(1)(iii) (a)(2) Questions / Requirements Is the signature made up of at least two components, such as an ID code and password, or an ID card and password? When several signatures are made during a continuous session, is the password entered for each signature? (Comment: both components must be executed for the first signature in a session.) If signatures are not entered in a continuous session, are both components of the electronic signature executed for each signature? Are non-biometric signatures only used by their real owners? Comments SIMATIC Logon or WinCC flexible identify the individual with two distinct components: User ID and password. When signing is performed, the user ID of the logged on user is always given by the system. The password must be entered for each signing. The user ID is always given by the system and only the password component must be entered. The client is responsible for providing procedural controls that prevent passwords from becoming known. A5E

22 Paragraph/ Item (a)(3) Questions / Requirements Would an attempt to falsify an electronic signature require the collaboration of at least two individuals? Comments It is not possible to falsify an electronic signature during signing. The administrator cannot misuse the signature, although he configures the user ID and initial password, because the user is forced to change his password at the first logon. Unauthorized use of user IDs / passwords (failed logon attempts) is detected immediately and recorded. An unauthorized change by the administrator once a record is saved would result in a change to its checksum, and the falsification would be detected. In addition, the client should provide procedural controls that prevent the disclosure of passwords Electronic Signatures (Biometric) Paragraph/ Item (b) Questions / Requirements Can biometric electronic signatures be used only by their real owner? Comments Biometric signature procedures are currently not supported by WinCC flexible. 22 A5E

23 3.5 Controls for Identification Codes and Passwords If tokens, cards or other devices bearing or generating identification code or password information are used on this system for electronic signatures, the system must be assessed against the requirements in this section. Paragraph/ Item (a) (b) Item (b) Item (b) Item (c) (d) Item (d) Item 2 Questions / Requirements Are controls in place to maintain the uniqueness of each identification code and password combination which ensure that no other individual can have the same combination of identification code and password? Are procedures in place to ensure that the validity of identification codes is checked regularly? Do passwords periodically expire and need to be checked? Is there a procedure for canceling identification codes and passwords if a person leaves the company or is transferred? Is there a procedure for electronically changing an identification code or password if it is potentially compromised or lost? Is there a procedure for detecting attempts at unauthorized use and for informing the security system? Is there a procedure for reporting repeated or serious attempts at unauthorized use to the administrator? Comments See (a). Clients are responsible for creating procedural controls. Clients are responsible for creating procedural controls. A password expires after a specified number of days and cannot be reused for a specified number of generations. User accounts can be disabled using SIMATIC Logon for central user administration in conjunction with the MS Windows security system. If the local user management of WinCC flexible is used, user access cannot be disabled or locked. A user group can, however, be created without active authorizations and such an employee can be assigned to this group. The employee data would therefore be maintained historically in the system, but the employee would no longer be in a position to perform unauthorized actions in the system. Clients are responsible for creating procedural controls. Users can change their password at any time if there is any suspicion of a breach of security. Passwords can be reset by administrators at any time if they are "forgotten". A user ID can be "disabled" by organizational measures, such as that described under (b) item 3. Failed access attempts are recorded in the audit trail and can be identified and traced there. The user account is locked after a specified number of unauthorized attempts. In addition, clients are responsible for providing appropriate organizational measures. Clients are responsible for providing appropriate organizational measures. A5E
