The blank URS template

This is the exact document structure the Pharma4i URS module produces. It suits equipment and computerised systems purchased or built under a GMP quality system, including systems assessed under GAMP 5 categories 3, 4 and 5. No account is needed to read or download it.

Requirement categories

Every requirement in the template belongs to one category. An empty category is stated as empty in the export rather than left out, so a reviewer can see that it was considered.

  • Operational
  • Functional
  • Data / records
  • Data integrity (ALCOA+)
  • Security and access control
  • Audit trail
  • Interfaces
  • Environmental / utilities
  • Materials of construction
  • Cleaning and maintenance
  • Safety
  • Documentation and handover
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Qualification support

Fill it in with the generator

The URS generator walks you through project setup and a structured questionnaire, or reads a vendor specification and drafts candidate requirements from it. Unconfirmed values are recorded as open assumptions, not silently asserted, and the export matches this template with an approvals block ready for signature.
