These regulations, which apply to all FDA program areas, were intended to permit the widest possible use of electronic technology, compatible with FDA’s responsibility to protect the public health, CFR Part 11 applies to drug makersmedical devices manufactures, biotech companies, biologics developers, CROs, and other FDA-regulated industries.
