As pharmaceutical supply chains become more global, serialization standards and interoperability are crucial for patient safety and regulatory compliance. Understanding these frameworks ensures smooth operations across borders.
Summary and Detailed Insights
Serialization standards define how medicines are uniquely identified and tracked. Globally recognized frameworks include:
🔹 GS1 Standards – A universal set of guidelines for barcodes and data exchange, supporting global traceability.
🔹 ISO Standards – International standards that ensure data integrity, system compatibility, and security.
🔹 Local Regulations – Country-specific standards (e.g., DSCSA, EU FMD, China’s Drug Administration Law) require serialization and data sharing within their markets.
Interoperability—the ability for different systems and standards to communicate—ensures that data can flow seamlessly across the global supply chain. Pharma Trax’s solutions are designed to:
✅ Align with GS1 and ISO standards.
✅ Support global compliance with region-specific serialization requirements.
✅ Enable data exchange and integration between supply chain partners.
✅ Strengthen patient safety and supply chain visibility at every step.
Key Ideas
