5. What do I do when there is the same product code on the Consumer Unit and the inner pack?
* When the ratio between Consumer Unit and inner pack is 1:1 (e.g., a box contains only one vial), according to the GS1 standard, there can be the same product code on the Consumer Unit and the inner pack.
* On farmalogg.no, the product code is registered as product code Consumer Unit, but the package level is set as primary level to indicate that the product code is stated on the package closest to the medicinal product.
* If the product code has already been registered with package level secondary level, notify us by e-mail and we will change it to primary level.
* Change of package level must be documented with a mock-up of a label where the product code appear either in a machine-readable 2D code or it is inserted as a comment.
6. Why is it not possible to register product code for inner pack?
* The product code for an inner pack can only be added if the Consumer Unit already contains a product code.
* If the Consumer Unit contains multiple inner packs with different packaging levels, all levels must have a product code.
* It is not possible to add a product code to an inner pack if the selected package/product code already contains an inner pack product code.
* It is not possible to add a product code inner pack if the packaging level for the selected package/product code is the primary level. In this case, contact Farmalogg.
7. What do the terms product code and barcode mean?
* Product code: a series of digits, in the GTIN- or NTIN format, used as a unique identifier of products, and presented for electronic readout in a barcode.
* Barcode: an optical, machine-readable data carrier on the package that provides unique identification upon scanning. The barcode term is used both for one-dimensional, linear barcodes (EAN-13) and two-dimensional barcodes like the 2D Data Matrix.
* GTINTM (Global Trade Item number) is an international unique identifier used in commerce. The GTIN usually consists of 13 digits and contains a country based prefix, the company supplier number, internal reference number and a control digit (modulo-10 calculation).
* NTIN (National Trade Item Number) is a GTIN with a shared Nordic prefix that is owned by NNC (Nordic Number Centre in Finland) used only for medicines with marketing authorization. The NTIN contains the Nordic article number and can only be changed if the article number changes. The NTIN does not distinguish between packages to the same detailed extent as the GTIN, and the NTIN is therefore not always a unique identifier. An article number can only have one NTIN, but multiple GTINs are possible.
