Deploy this template whenever you initiate a change to GMP-regulated processes, systems, materials, or documentation.
This template produces a complete GMP change control record that satisfies 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 requirements.
Most rejections stem from incomplete impact analysis or missing validation linkage during regulatory inspections.

Replace tablet press pre-compression sensor model S-410 with model S-510 on press TP-04.
The current sensor is obsolete and no longer supported by the supplier.
| Area | Impact |
|---|---|
| Equipment | TP-04 control loop requires verification |
| SOPs | Maintenance SOP MNT-044 requires revision |
Primary risk is inaccurate compression force reading; mitigation is IQ/OQ and three engineering batches.
OQ will challenge low, nominal, and high compression settings.
No prior approval expected; document in annual product review.
