Pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and medical devices must use GS1 standards to ensure traceability, prevent counterfeiting, and enhance patient safety, in accordance with international regulations.
Traceability & Anti-Counterfeit
GS1’s Healthcare products cover pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and medical devices, using GS1 standards (such as GTIN, GLN, and GDSN) to enhance patient safety, track products throughout the supply chain, and prevent counterfeiting in the healthcare system.
Product Traceability – to track the origin and transport path.
Recall Management – to reduce risks from defective or expired products.
Anti-Counterfeit – to prevent counterfeiting and protect consumers.
GS1 standards are recognized by governments in many countries and are used in traceability and anti-counterfeit systems in the healthcare industry, such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices. However, legal requirements may vary by country. Exporters should research information from government agencies and international partners to ensure compliance with the latest regulations.
