Data integrity in pharmaceutical manufacturing encompasses the completeness, accuracy, reliability, consistency, and authenticity of data throughout its lifecycle—from generation and recording to maintenance and reporting. This principle ensures that all data is traceable, verifiable, and has remained unaltered and free from corruption. Upholding data integrity is crucial for guaranteeing the quality and reliability of information critical for decision-making, regulatory submissions, audits, and quality management processes. It safeguards against data manipulation or falsification, thereby ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and maintaining the trustworthiness of data used within the industry.
