15 Nov: GETTING READY FOR IDMP

In mid-2016, a new set of regulations concerning product compliance with European industry standards will be put in place for pharmaceutical and life science organizations. Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP) is a framework of detailed descriptions of substances, composition and dosage forms, production procedures, and packaging. These IDMP norms require identification of all pharmaceutical products according to certain data standards, laid out by ISO (International Organization for Standardization). ISO has come up with five IDMP standards; these are aimed at accurately identifying medicinal products for human use, with a high degree of certainty.
