Health informatics — Requirements for international machine-readable coding of medicinal product package identifiers

Standard Details

This document provides requirements on identification and labelling of medicinal products from the point of manufacturing of packaged medicinal product to the point of dispensing the product.

This document outlines commonly accepted international practices for automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) barcoding solutions for applications and applies to manufacturers, distributors, healthcare facilities and all parties involved in labelling and distribution of packaged medicinal products. These users can, however, consider the coding interoperability requirements for other AIDC technologies, e.g. radio frequency identification (RFID); that technology is not addressed in this document except as for information.
