21 CFR Part 11 (vLog VL)

A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rule relating to the use of Electronic
Records and Electronic Signatures. The FDA’s view is that the risks of
falsification, misinterpretation, and change without leaving evidence are
higher with electronic records than paper records, and, consequently, 21 CFR
Part 11 has been developed to provide adequate control over these risks.
