Gamp Classification -

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) — Critical for compliance, yet showing its age in parts. 1. What is GAMP Classification? The GAMP (Good Automated Manufacturing Practice) 5 categorization system (from ISPE) classifies computerized system components into Software Categories (1-5) and Hardware Categories (1-2) . The goal: determine the level of validation rigor based on risk and complexity.

You work in non-regulated software (web dev, finance non-GxP), or you’re fully cloud-native with no GxP requirements – look at CSA instead. Bottom line: GAMP 5 classification remains the industry standard because it forces critical thinking about risk. But treat it as a scalpel, not a hammer – especially for modern architectures. gamp classification

❌ – Treats all configured software (Cat 4) similarly, but a simple config (e.g., setting a date format) differs vastly from complex logic (e.g., 500 business rules in a LIMS). No sub-category for configuration complexity. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) — Critical for compliance, yet showing

❌ – Self-learning algorithms break the “configured vs. custom” boundary. A model that retrains post-deployment doesn’t fit Categories 3–5 cleanly. Bottom line: GAMP 5 classification remains the industry
