Archiving the data

All data must be archived for the period specified by the relevant regulatory authorities. This requirement is mandated by 21 CFR Part 11 and GLP.

Note:

The FDA's version of the GLP specifies minimum record retention periods in § 58.195.

From the Clarity perspective, this requirement can be met by using the Archive... and Restore... commands available from the Instrument window. Alternatively, suitable external archiving software may be used.

Note:

Archiving and restoring data should be only performed by users with Administrator rights.
