In regulated industries (pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices), GAMP (Good Automated Manufacturing Practice) provides a risk-based approach to validating computerized systems. Central to GAMP 5 (2nd Edition) is the classification of software into . This paper explains each category, its risk level, and the typical validation activities required, helping organizations avoid over- or under-validation.

These are "off-the-shelf" (OTS) solutions that are used as-is. They are intended for standard business processes where the user does not change the underlying code or workflow. Note: (Firmware) was removed in later GAMP versions

Note: (Firmware) was removed in later GAMP versions because it was often redundant or difficult to distinguish from other categories 0.5.10 . Why Categorization Matters Best for: Quick engagement

💡 Don't over-validate a Category 3 calculator, and don't under-validate a Category 5 custom build. Risk-based validation is key!
