I am no expert, and surely others in the community have real-world practical experience building 21 CFR compliant projects in Ignition who should chime in, but take a look at these links, which might give you some inspiration:

- [21 CFR Part 11 Compliance with Inductive Automation’s Ignition Platform | Inductive Automation](https://www.inductiveautomation.com/resources/article/21-cfr-part-11-compliance-with-inductive-automations-ignition-platform)
- [Regarding Ignition and US FDA 21 CFR 11](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/regarding-ignition-and-us-fda-21-cfr-11/19938)

You’ll need to understand the requirements, and then build your project to fulfill the requirements. Ignition should have everything you need to build 21 CFR compliant applications. I believe Part 11 of 21 CFR is of particular importance, especially when it comes to the e-signature requirements.

If you are using Perspective and IdPs, we just added a new feature coming in 8.1.16 which will surely help: [New "Authentication Challenge" Feature in Perspective](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/new-authentication-challenge-feature-in-perspective/57182)

Thank you @jspecht for your reply, but I want to know that, how to implement e-signature in ignition, I mean is it any inbuild functionality in SCADA or any binding.

There is no first-class “e-signature” component or anything like that in Ignition. My understanding is that an e-signature can be captured from the target user by digitally authenticating them and then auditing the event. Obviously that is oversimplifying things, but that’s the essence of it…
