Webinar: CSV versus CSA

Written by Valicare GmbH | Nov 14, 2025 1:04:03 PM

"Computerized System Validation (CSV) versus Computer Software Assurance (CSA) – Supplement or Substitution?"

To what extent are your validations affected by this?

Almost simultaneously, the regulatory requirements for computerized system validation in Europe (Annex 11 and 22 of the EU GMP Guidelines) and North America (Computer Software Assurance (CSA) Guide) were updated.

The fast changes in software systems in terms of updates, patches, new functionalities, and the expansion of technology through cloud computing and artificial intelligence made these adjustments necessary.

Since then, the term CSA has become increasingly prominent. But what exactly does CSA mean and how does it differ from the CSV used so far? What do you need to consider now when validating your computer-based systems?

In the webinar on “CSV versus CSA”, Dr. Carsten Börger, Senior GMP Consultant at Valicare GmbH, provides an overview about the risk-based approach to computer-based validation and what else needs to be considered regarding CSA.
