21 CFR Part 11 Compliant Temperature Monitoring System
Mindlabs temperature and environmental monitoring is built for FDA-regulated environments — with electronic records, secure time-stamped audit trails, role-based access, and validation (CSV) documentation. Everything you need to support a 21 CFR Part 11-compliant monitoring programme across pharma manufacturing, cold chain, and laboratories.

GoWhat Is 21 CFR Part 11?
21 CFR Part 11 is the US FDA regulation governing electronic records and electronic signatures. It sets the requirements a computerised system must meet for its electronic records to be considered trustworthy, reliable, and equivalent to paper — covering data integrity, audit trails, access control, and system validation. For temperature monitoring, it means every reading, alarm, and change is captured, attributable, and tamper-evident, so your data holds up under inspection.
The Core Requirements
Electronic records
Accurate, complete, retrievable, and protected for the retention period.
Secure audit trails
Computer-generated, time-stamped logs of who did what and when, without obscuring prior data.
Electronic signatures
Unique to the individual, linked to the record, with name, date/time, and meaning.
Access & authority controls
System access limited to authorised users, with role-based permissions.
System validation (CSV)
Documented validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) that the system performs as intended.
Data integrity (ALCOA+)
Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate — plus Complete, Consistent, Enduring, Available.
How Mindlabs Supports Each Requirement
| 21 CFR Part 11 requirement | How Mindlabs supports it |
|---|---|
Electronic records | Temperature, humidity & environmental data captured and stored electronically — accurate, retrievable, and retained per your policy. |
Secure, time-stamped audit trail | Computer-generated audit trail logging configuration changes, user actions, and alarm acknowledgments, without overwriting previous entries. |
Electronic signatures | Not yet implemented — the platform provides electronic records, audit trails, and role-based access control under Part 11 today; e-signature support is on the roadmap. |
Access & authority controls | Role-based user accounts; only authorised users can view or change settings and thresholds. |
System validation (CSV) | IQ/OQ/PQ validation documentation available to support your Computer System Validation. |
Data integrity (ALCOA+) | Tamper-evident, attributable, contemporaneous records with original values preserved. |
Accurate copies | Export human-readable PDF and CSV, plus electronic copies, for audits and inspections. |
Record retention | Configurable retention with data available throughout the retention period. |
Compliance status, visible in real time
Every device's compliance state, audit trail activity, and alert history — tracked live from the Mindlabs cloud dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is the US FDA regulation on electronic records and electronic signatures, defining what a computerised system must do for its electronic data to be trustworthy and inspection-ready — covering audit trails, data integrity, access control, and validation.
There is no official Part 11 certification. Mindlabs is Part 11-ready: the system provides core capabilities — electronic records, audit trails, and access control — and the regulated user validates and operates it to achieve compliance.
A secure, computer-generated, time-stamped log of every relevant action — configuration changes, user access, and alarm acknowledgments — that cannot obscure previously recorded data.
Yes. Mindlabs provides IQ/OQ/PQ validation support documentation for regulated customers to underpin Computer System Validation.
A framework for trustworthy data: Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, and Accurate — plus Complete, Consistent, Enduring, and Available.
Anchor and Go, backed by the Mindlabs cloud platform, provide electronic records, audit trails, and access controls that support a Part 11-compliant programme.
It applies to organisations that create, modify, or store electronic records for FDA-regulated activities — for example, pharma manufacturers and exporters to the US market. Your quality/regulatory team defines the scope for your operation.
