sorry for delay…
for minimum requirements, i meant, that
it is allowed to rely on prinouts, while maintaining the e-records (audit trail) (in this case, it is not mandatory to have e-signatures i.e., unique user ids and passwords)

for stand-alone offline activities above scenario is simple to interpret.

Now, consider scenario where we add ELN or LIMS to link with above requirements, e-signatures get triggered for ELN & LIMS.
the question, is hwat happens to the requirements of e-signatures to the above equipments?

thank you.
