New serialization law pose challenge for anyone manufacturing products for the Russian market
In January 2019, the Russian Crypto-Code Act became law. By January 2020 it will become mandatory to have the serialization code on all medicines imported into and sold in Russia.
The crypto-code is twice the size of the European 2D matrix code with an additional 48 characters. This presents a challenge for most manufacturers as their current printing and verification equipment is not designed to handle these larger serialization codes.
Russia is not only implementing crypto-codes to pharmaceutical products, but to most product groups. Consequently, it is essential to prepare for and meet the serialization and crypto-code requirements in order to keep selling products to Russia.
PPS partner Laetus has produced a white paper with all necessary information about regulations, which product groups are affected when, and the details that need to be observed closer. It clearly explains how the crypto-code works and how the requirements can be integrated into production processes. Fill in the form below to get your whitepaper.
