As of July 1, 2020, the requirements for mandatory serialization (marking and labeling) of medicines, shoes, and tobacco products had to come into force.

According to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation № 955 from 30.06.2020, non-serialized medicines manufactured or imported in Russia from the period 1st of July to 1st October, 2020, will be released on the basis of a decision of a special Interdepartmental Commission.
The approval will be issued within 8 days and requires a list of documents, including a justification for the impossibility to serialize and the deadline for the manufacturer’s readiness to serialize.

Prior to the deadlines, SoftGroup provided several pharmaceutical companies in the EU with full-stack serialization solutions.

Coronavirus vaccines updates

Just from the last month, the Ministry of Health in Russia announced that the coronavirus vaccines, which several major Russian research institutes are exploring simultaneously, will also have a unique product identification code.

Serialization: Mission possible

“We are working in-depth on every single customer’s project, we did a lot of innovation and enhancements in the all-in-one product. I can proudly say that SoftGroup® SaTT solutions have already provided a smooth production for the Russian market of our customers. However, we are in constant contact with them to answer questions, provide additional training, and help in unforeseen situations. We do understand that some of the pharmaceutical companies still have not completed the implementation of the serialization solution or were unsatisfied with their current choice. That is why we will be happy to provide them with a working alternative. ” says Venelin Dimitrov, Founder and CEO of SoftGroup.
