Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This Public Notice amends the Handbook of Procedure 2015-2020, focusing on implementing a track and trace system for exported drug formulations. It details barcode printing requirements at different packaging levels and data maintenance in a parent-child relationship. The notice extends certain exemptions for Small Scale Industries (SSI) manufacturers regarding data uploading until specific dates. Key Points / Main Content: Barcode Printing Requirements: * Manufacturers/exporters must print barcodes according to GS1 Global Standards for tracking. * Primary Level: 2D barcode with GTIN, batch number, expiry date, and serial number. Barcode labeling is exempt until further notice, but details must be printed in human-readable form. * Secondary Level: 1D or 2D barcode with GTIN, batch number, expiry date, and serial number. Barcoding on mono cartons is optional until further notice. * Tertiary Level: 1D barcode with GTIN, batch number, expiry date, and Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC). Parent-Child Relationship Data: * Manufacturers/exporters must maintain data in a parent-child relationship for primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging levels. Exemptions and Deadlines: * All manufacturers were initially exempt from maintaining the parent-child relationship and uploading it to the central portal until 31.03.2016. * SSI drug manufacturers have an extended exemption from maintaining the parent-child relationship until 31.03.2017 but must upload tertiary-level data to the central portal. * Non-SSI units with manufacturing dates on/after 01.04.2016 and SSI units with manufacturing dates on/after 01.04.2017 can only export drugs if both tertiary and secondary packaging have barcodes and relevant data is uploaded. Data Upload and Responsibility: * Manufacturers/exporters must upload data to the central portal before releasing drug formulations for sale/distribution. * Manufacturers/exporters are responsible for data correctness, completeness, and timely uploading. Exemptions based on Importing Country Requirements: * Rules i to iv are not applicable for drug formulations manufactured for export purposes, where the government of the importing country has mandated a specific requirement and the exporter intends to avail the option of printing the barcodes in their format after duly obtaining the permission of DCGI or its nominee. SSI & Non-SSI Exemptions based on Manufacturing Date: * Export of drugs manufactured by nonSSI units and having manufacturing date prior to 31.03.2016 and export of the drugs manufactured by SSI units and having manufacturing date prior to 31.03.2017 are exempted from requirement of data uploading on Central Portal Clarifications: * Relevant guidelines, exemption procedures, data requirements, and clarifications are available on the central portal (http:dava.gov.in).
