SEAMetal HD (version 5.1 and up) supports the technical requirements for the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 regulatory codes.
These codes govern and outline the use of data security and integrity for critical data. The system puts into place not only regulatory requirements governing how e-signatures, audit trail, encryption and authentication work – but also rules and regulations for training, procedural and operator/administrator accountability.
Part 11 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations; Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures (21 CFR Part 11) allows FDA regulated companies to take full advantage of electronic technology while ensuring their implemented systems are aligned with the FDA’s responsibility to protect public health.

These capabilities empower users who would like these capabilities, even outside the US where these requirements are not critical. In such cases, the system provides an added security protection layer to the system.
Key terms Term Definition Gloss The degree to which a surface reflects light in the specular (mirror) direction. Higher gloss means a shinier surface. Specular reflection Light reflected at the equal and opposite angle to the incident light, as from a mirror. 75 degree geometry The measurement angle used for paper and board gloss, taken…
Gloss is the visual perception of shininess, and it comes from the way a surface reflects light. When light hits a very smooth surface, most of it reflects in a single direction, the specular direction, and the surface looks glossy. When the surface is rough or open, light scatters in many directions and the surface…
Gloss is a measure of how much light a paper or board surface reflects in the specular, or mirror, direction. A high-gloss sheet reflects light sharply and looks shiny. A matte sheet scatters light and looks dull. In the paper and board industry, gloss is a controlled optical property because it shapes how printed packaging,…
