TRACKING
The
recent focus has been on regulations relating to
the 2011 European Falsified Medicines Directive
(FMD), referred to as DIRECTIVE 2011/62/EU,
which amends EU Directive 2001/83/EC relating to
the prevention of entry of falsified medicinal
products into the legal supply chain in Europe.
The specific details for the
implementation are being defined now and the law
is scheduled to become effective in 2017.
The requirements for encoding packages and
for tracking product information have been
widely discussed and are integrated into
business strategy and requirements for our
clients. Several organizations, including EDQM
and European Federation of Pharmaceutical
Industries and Associations (EFPIA) are
preparing guidance to comply with the 2011
European Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD).
There are several very
specific requirements for manufacturers and
wholesalers that will be defined based on your
company procedures and business systems.
Projects have
delivered (1) strategy, (2) project roadmap and
plans, (3) User Requirement Specification (URS)
for (a) enterprise serialization, (b) packaging

(5) compliance with global regulatory
