About this Page
An overview of what you'll find below
What’s Inside
Regulated manufacturers know that documentation isn’t just paperwork—it’s proof of compliance. This page explores the most critical batch record types used in GMP and FDA-regulated industries and explains how digital systems like V5 simplify traceability, reduce batch release times, and enforce data integrity at every step.
Core Compliance Records
Understand the foundational reports required for GMP, ISO, and FDA compliance.
Batch Manufacturing Record (BMR)
The BMR captures every critical production step—from material issuance to final packaging—serving as the definitive log for batch compliance. V5 ensures that SOPs are enforced, signatures are applied electronically, and audit trails are maintained without manual work. View article
Master Manufacturing Record (MMR)
The MMR defines the instructions for making a product consistently and compliantly. V5 uses the MMR to create enforceable batch templates, control operator behavior, and ensure each run follows validated procedures. View article
Electronic Batch Record (eBR)
eBR replaces traditional paper records with digital enforcement. With V5, operators record data in real time, triggering alerts and conditional checks that reduce deviations and accelerate batch release. View article
Certificate of Analysis (CoA)
CoAs validate the quality of a batch by summarizing lab results and acceptance criteria. V5 automatically links batch test results to the CoA output—ensuring document accuracy and traceability from lab to lot. View article
Electronic Device History Record (eDHR)
eDHRs are mandatory for medical device manufacturers. V5 captures serial numbers, calibrations, inspections, and device-specific attributes as part of an electronic record trail—streamlining 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO 13485 compliance. View article
