CFR Compliance Pack Addresses Security and Environmental Needs of Customers in the Pharmaceutical, Food & Beverage, and Biotech Markets

For Immediate Release

Andover, Mass. - Andover Controls Corporation announces the release of their CFR Compliance Pack. This new software feature set addresses the need for accountability and traceability of both security and environmental conditions in the plant manufacturing process, facilitating compliance with the Food and Drug Administration's 21 CFR Part 11 regulations. This document was developed by the FDA to promote and regulate the use of electronic signature, record keeping, and reporting practices for all business disciplines under its control.

Andover Controls has taken a leadership role in an effort to help FDA-regulated businesses comply with this code. Through the use of detailed audit trails and enforced operator responses, Andover's CFR Compliance Pack ensures that not only are process-related environmental conditions monitored on the manufacturing floor, but also that all card access events and security alarms are recorded within a common 21 CFR Part 11 architecture.

"We are seeing a marked increase in awareness of not only the obligation to comply but also the real, tangible business benefits of compliance," says Clive Smith, Industry Marketing Manager, Andover Controls. "Andover is the first in the industry to offer a common 21 CFR Part 11 compliance-ready platform able to fulfill both security management and environmental control requirements. This approach increases customer efficiency through improved user familiarity and the development of consistent Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's), design methodologies, and operator training programs."

The CFR Compliance Pack is an enhancement to Andover's existing ContinuumSYMBOL 210 f "Symbol" s 12 Security Management System, which provides access control, security alarm monitoring, badging, video surveillance, and environmental control to facilities world-wide.

Andover's CFR Compliance Pack will be debuted at the ASIS International 2002 conference and exhibition, held in Philadelphia September 10-12. Andover Controls is exhibiting at Booth #312.

Founded in 1975, the company has over 40,000 systems installed in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. It is part of publicly held Balfour Beatty plc, a British engineering conglomerate.
