adopt a track and trace system and incorporate its features for exported
medicines using barcode technology as per GS 1 global standards. The
following is needed to be done as detailed below:<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">a. Primary
Level packaging requirement:</span></strong><b><br />
<br />
</b>Incorporation of 2D (GS1 Data matrix) barcodes on medicines at
strip/vial/bottle, etc. encoding unique product identification code
(GTIN) and Unique Serial Number of the Primary pack.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">b. Secondary
Level packaging requirement :</span></strong><b><br />
<br />
</b>Incorporation of barcodes (1D or 2 D) encoding unique product
identification code (GTIN), Batch Number, Expiry Date and Unique Serial
Number of the Secondary pack. Mono cartons shall be treated as Secondary
Level Packaging in line with prevalent global packaging nomenclature.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">c. Tertiary
Level packaging requirement:</span></strong><b><br />
<br />
</b>Incorporation of barcodes (1 D) encoding unique product
identification code (GTIN), Batch Number, Expiry Date and Unique Serial

:- 1<sup>st</sup>
January, 2013 (already given effect to)<br />
(c) Tertiary Level packaging
:-
1<sup>st</sup> October, 2011 (already given effect to)</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">In case, the Government of the importing
country has mandated a specific requirement, the exporter has the option
of adhering to the same and in such a case, it would not be necessary to
comply with the stipulations at serial number a, b & c of para 3(i)
above and if an exporter is seeking to avail exemption from bar coding
prescribed by the Government of India as above, the exporter is given
the option to move an application to the Pharmaceuticals Export
Promotion Council of India (Pharmexcil) for this purpose, clearly
specifying the nature of such an exemption in the interest of the
exports from the country. Pharmexcil shall dispose of such applications
on case to case basis with prior approval of Government.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">Under the track and trace system, manufacturers
would be required to maintain serialized record of exported
pharmaceutical products for a minimum period of six months after the
expiry date of the product.</li>

<span style="background: white; color: #500050; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Clarification asked on the following:</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #500050; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #500050; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">To our understanding Indian authorities have
already implemented specific requirements for serialisation with respect to
products which are exported.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; color: #500050; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="background: white; color: blue; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />
<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #500050; font-size: 10pt;"></span><br />
What are the exact requirements when a product is exported
out of India to a country which has another regulation (e.g. France)?<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
In the secondary packaging section of the guidelines released by GS1 India it
states that:</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; color: #500050; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="background: white; color: #500050; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />
In case the importing country has mandated a specific
requirement, the exporter can adhere to the same and it would not be necessary
to comply with the above requirement.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; color: #500050; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="background: white; color: #500050; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />
<br />
The questions are:</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; color: #500050; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="background: white; color: #500050; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />
1) If the import country has only a requirement to serialize
the secondary packaging, would the Indian requirement for primary and tertiary
packaging still apply?</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; color: #500050; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="background: white; color: #500050; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />
2) If the import country has only a requirement to mark the
product with datamatrix with GTIN, batch, expiry but not serial number, do we
have to print 2 datamatrix on the product (one to comply with the import
country requirement and the second for the Indian requirement)?<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

As per the manual, If the importing country has any mandate on any levels of
the packaging, then it can be followed. For rest of the levels DGFT mandate
will apply.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) will take up with the Commerce Ministry the issue of barcoding for primary level packaging of pharmaceutical products which, the industry felt, would be virtually impossible for small products.<br /><br />DCGI Dr G N Singh, in a recent interaction with the industry leaders, said he would along with the Pharmexcil take up the matter with the Commerce Ministry and the concerned group of ministers. He also asked the industry leaders to give a detailed representation in this regard so that he can convince with the Health Ministry also.<br /><br />“Systems are made for the benefit of the industry. It there is a strong justification against a particular norm, the government was open to remove it,” he felt, while responding to the industry criticism that it would be practically impossible to fix bar codes on primary packaging.<br /><br />The DCGI, who stressed that the government was working for systematic changes in the regulatory system, also said that he had identified some key issues like test license and fee structure and would meet the industry soon to take the inputs.<br /><br />The Commerce Ministry had made compulsory implementation of the tertiary level barcoding on packaging from October 1, 2011 and secondary level barcoding for pharma exports from January 1, 2013. Though the barcoding for primary packaging was to be implemented from July 1, 2013, it had given one year extension and postponed the implementation till July 1, 2014.<br /><br />Instead of another year of extension, now the industry was pressing for the abolition of the rule, taking into consideration the practical difficulties.<br /><br />Backing the cause, Pharmexcil director general, Dr P V Appaji said the agency had been pursuing the issue for the industry and would again press upon the ministry to drop the proposal for primary packaging as desired by the industry.</div>

In the case of prescription drugs, the monitoring will go further, with the ability to know who purchased a particular drug, explains Anvisa Director Dirceu Barbano.<br /><br />The agency established an intermediate period of two years from the time of approval of the system to allow every drug company to submit a comprehensive report of traceability of at least three product lots that they have manufactured.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
“The report will serve to demonstrate that the company has the system in place, and that it’s working. And the company would have an additional year to buy more equipment," Barbano said.<br /><br />Another rule, yet to be issued, will define the process for communicating tracking information to Anvisa. The tracking data, says Barbano, should be created by the industry, possibly in partnership with pharmacies and distributors.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
Nelson Mussolini, chief executive of Sindusfarma (Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry in the State of São Paulo), says the move brings certainty to the industry and the consumer. Mussolini said he believes it is possible to meet the deadline established by Anvisa, although there is some concern amongst manufacturers about the cost of the change and the availability of equipment necessary to establish traceability. There is no mention of passing costs to consumers, he said, since drug prices are controlled by the government.<br /><br />The call for traceability was established by law in Brazil in 2009. In 2011, the agency gave up a proposal for traceability which involved the use of a stamp of the Mint, as it would have made products more expensive.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We would like to inform that in view of scheduled time for implementation of bar coding on secondary packaging (effective 1.1.2013) is fast approaching, Council is receiving many calls enquiring about latest status of the same. In order to update members on this important subject , we wish to inform as follows:</span></div>

Industry was also suggested to hold discussions with GS1, (the bar coding standards/ service provider) and M/s.Wipro (the software company which conducted a detailed study on technologies/procedures and cost implications involved in the implementation on secondary packing). Accordingly, a meeting of these agencies with CEOs of industry was planned for 24th at Mumbai but the same could not be organized as GS1 and Wipro are not available till 2nd week of Jan 2013. Govt. has indicated that keeping in view the technical difficulties involved in primary packing, further adequate time/extension would be considered favourably. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

However, council will try its best to get a favourable decision from the Govt. before 31st December 2012, so that exports will not suffer due to this issue. </span></div>
