GS1 has been designated by the European Commission as the issuing entity for Unique Device Identifiers (UDIs). GS1 global standards meet the EU Commission’s criteria for the issuance of #UDIs, supporting the EU regulators in ensuring a successful implementation of the UDI system as defined by the EU Medical Device Regulation and In-Vitro Diagnostics Medical Devices Regulation (EU Regulations), and enabling manufacturers to comply with these requirements.
In the pharmaceutical sector, traceability means following each medicine from its production to the patient to ensure its quality and integrity. Automatic identification techniques such as barcodes are increasingly being used to ensure this traceability and to prevent the counterfeiting of medicines.
The aim of the FMD regulation is to do everything possible to establish a system of unique identification, on the basis of which each medicine can be traced from production to the patient.
As a manufacturer, retailer, logistics service provider, or customer, you need to know exactly where your shipments of goods are at any time, where they have come from—and when and where they are due to arrive.
Identifying, capturing, and sharing information about the movement of products—and the digitalisation of everyday business processes—not only enhances interoperability between stakeholders but creates a highly efficient, sustainable, and collaborative logistics environment.
GS1 is working to achieve fully accurate, real-time visibility throughout the supply chain, from source to consumer, no matter what the mode of transport.
From November 2023, all wines and aromatized wine products marketed in the EU, regardless of their origin, will have to display the list of ingredients and the full nutrition declaration on the label or online.
This regulation modernizes the consumer information policy by allowing producers to make the newly required information available through e-labels.
