Archiving the data

All data must be archived for the period specified by the appropriate authorities. This feature is required by 21 CFR Part 11 and GLP.

Note:

The FDA's (American) version of the GLP already includes the minimum records retention periods in the § 58.195.

This requirement may be fulfilled (from the Clarity standpoint) by the Archive... and Restore... commands from the Instrument window. Some external archiving software may also be appropriate.

Note:

Archiving and restoring data should be left to people with the administrator account.
