Introduction to the drug electronic regulatory code and its application scope

Drug electronic regulatory code, referred to as drug administration code, is an electronic identifier used for drug identity verification, information storage and collection, logistics flow statistics and other information services. The drug administration Code is a 20-digit encryption Code, which is embodied in the form of Code 128C one-dimensional bar Code and digital characters. It supports automatic identification equipment and human eyes to read. The drug code can be divided into primary drug regulatory code (minimum sales package), secondary drug regulatory code (middle package) and tertiary drug regulatory code (outer package, and so on), which are used to identify the drugs in minimum sales package, independent middle package and independent outer package respectively.

Scope of application of drug regulatory code

The drug administration code is applied to the modern drug information management method of realizing real-time monitoring of drug production, circulation and inventory by using coding technology, network technology and "one piece" and "full process verification and verification".

Regulatory code coding standard

1. Drug regulatory code system

The 20 digits of the drug administration Code are encoded by Code 128C coding standard, and it can be calculated that the barcode symbol is composed of 145 modules, namely 145X.

2. The expression form of drug administration code

In order to meet the needs of different shape packaging, the manufacturer can choose one of them according to the specific situation.

3. Regulatory code coding rules

The drug administration code uses a 20-digit code, among which the first 7 digits (product resource code) contain the information of the enterprise, the ability of the drug, dosage form, approval number, packaging specifications and other information, which is convenient for data storage and can be used in logistics and retail settlement.

The 8 to 16 digits of the FDA code are the serial numbers of individual products, and the last four digits are the check bits, which are generated by a special encryption algorithm.

4. Drug regulatory code capacity

Because of the independence of the code, it can fully support a large number of drug varieties and code capacity.
