However, at the end of 2018, the Russian government published a <strong>revised version<\/strong> of Federal Law No. 488-FZ.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers have to serialise every single <strong>with a crypto key<\/strong> and an individual cryptocode, which must be requested from the Russian authorities for each serial number via a web service or encryption hardware. The crypto code increases the security of the Data Matrix Code. <strong>printing data volume<\/strong> clearly.<\/p>\n<p>The new law also requires the complete aggregation of all units, as well as a comprehensive documentation and reporting obligation for all logistical processes in the life cycle of packaging.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201ePharmaceutical manufacturers are facing rapidly approaching compliance deadlines and highly complex legal frameworks as the legislation is updated. In contrast to the EU regulations, which mainly apply to prescription medicines, the Russian regulations also affect a much broader range of pharmaceutical products, including over-the-counter medicines.\u201c<br \/>\n<strong>Minthia from Wiarda<\/strong>, International Marketing Manager at METTLER TOLEDO<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: METTLER TOLEDO<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anyone offering medicinal products in Russia faces complicated challenges.
