Disclaimer GS1®, under its IP Policy, seeks to avoid uncertainty regarding intellectual property claims by requiring the participants in the Work Group that developed this GS1 Global Traceability Standard to agree to grant to GS1 members a royalty-free licence or a RAND licence to Necessary Claims, as that term is defined in the GS1 IP Policy. Furthermore, attention is drawn to the possibility that an implementation of one or more features of this Specification may be the subject of a patent or other intellectual property right that does not involve a Necessary Claim. Any such patent or other intellectual property right is not subject to the licencing obligations of GS1. Moreover, the agreement to grant licences provided under the GS1 IP Policy does not include IP rights and any claims of third parties who were not participants in the Work Group. Accordingly, GS1 recommends that any organisation developing an implementation designed to be in conformance with this Specification should determine whether there are any patents that may encompass a specific implementation that the organisation is developing in compliance with the Specification and whether a licence under a patent or other intellectual property right is needed. Such a determination of a need for licencing should be made in view of the details of the specific system designed by the organisation in consultation with their own patent counsel.

  • Traceability in Time and Frequency Metrology
    Traceability in Time and Frequency Metrology Michael A. Lombardi National Institute of Standards and Technology Time and Frequency Division 325 Broadway Boulder, CO 80303 United States of America (303) 497-3212 [email protected] Abstract This paper discusses the techniques and reference signals used to establish traceability to national and international standards when making time and tlequency measurements. It explains how traceable time and frequency tiormation is distributed by NIST and other national metrology institutes through radio, telephone, and Internet signals. It also describes how signals broadcast by the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites can serve as a traceable time and frequency reference that is available worldwide. 1. Introduction Traceability is a desired characteristic of every measurement. Traceability is defined as: The property of a result of a measurement or the value of a standard whereby it can be related to stated references, usually national or international standards, through an unbroken chain of comparisons all having stated uncertainties. [1] Metrologists are required to complete the traceability chain by stating the uncertainty of their measurements with respect to a National Metrology Institute (NMI). The W is required to show traceability to the International System (S1) of units maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). Traceability is often a legal or contractual requirement, and its importance to quality control systems cannot be overstated. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Guide 25 lists the requirements for competence of calibration and testing laboratories. Section 9.2 of Guide 25 states: The overall programme of calibration and40r verij%ation and validation of equipment shall be designed and operated so as to ensure that, wherever applicable, measurements made by the laboratory are traceable to national stanakwds of measurement, where available.

    are The Role of Traceability in Sustainable Supply Chain Management Master of Science Thesis in Supply Chain Management KRAIVUTH KRAISINTU TING ZHANG Department of Technology Management and Economics Division of Logistics and Transportation CHALMERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY Göteborg, Sweden, 2011 Report No. E2011:085 The Role of Traceability in Sustainable Supply Chain Management KRAIVUTH KRAISINTU TING ZHANG © Kraivuth Kraisintu, 2011 © Ting Zhang, 2011 Master of Science Thesis Report No. E2011:085 Department of Technology Management and Economics Division of Logistics and Transportation Chalmers University of Technology SE-412 96 Gothenburg, Sweden ABSTRACT Nowadays, sustainability has become a new management principle for firms to steadily compete in the market. On the public side, food crisis has increased consumers' awareness of safety on their consumption. Based on this awareness, governments of many countries have legislated firms in the food supply chains to implement the traceability system in order to identify sources of deficiency and be able to withdraw hazardous products on the market precisely and efficiently. Firms in different industries have implemented traceability systems to increase supply chain performance. By the enforcement of food safety laws, food safety becomes a new important traceability attribute for these firms. This enforcement becomes a great opportunity for firms to start applying new management principles by considering sustainability on all sustainable dimensions. In this thesis, 82 academic papers are reviewed and analyzed. The authors identified the contributions of traceability to sustainable supply chain management by identifying effects on economic perspective, social perspective, and environmental perspective and the mechanism on how traceability can create sustainability by identifying relationships among three perspectives, including other factors that should be considered.

  • Policy Brief on Traceability of Health Products
    ACCESS TO MEDICINES, VACCINES AND 1 PHARMACEUTICALS 2 3 4 Policy brief on traceability of health products 5 Key points 6 7 With this policy brief, the World Health Organization (WHO) aims to outline the features of existing traceability systems and provide 8 guidance on developing workable traceability regulation. Careful consideration should be given to Member States’ (MS) unique 9 needs, capacity and resources, with risk mitigation and sustainability strategies embedded in implementation efforts. 10 11 For this purpose, MS are encouraged to 12 ● Establish a suitable governance for their traceability system based on the analysis of their national environment (e.g. regulatory 13 environment, supply chain management), after evaluating how the different options for this governance will impact 14 interoperability, cost, security and regulatory control; 15 ● Integrate in their plan for a traceability system a costing of the system and a sustainability mechanism to prevent costs from 16 negatively impacting patients, government, supply chain stakeholders, and ultimately access to medicines; and 17 ● Use global standards for product identification, production identification, automatic identification and data capture (AIDC)1 and 18 data exchange to reduce creation and operating system costs and maximize interoperability. 19 Introduction 20 What is the issue 21 Given the growth and globalization of trade, health products2 are manufactured and distributed in complex supply chains. As 22 illustrated in Figure 1, products pass through many entities in their journey to the patient, often being manufactured in one country 23 and distributed across borders to be marketed or sold in other countries. As distribution spreads geographically and the supply 24 chain becomes more fragmented oversight capacity of national regulatory authorities become stretched.1 Effective oversight of the 25 supply chain is thus weakened, raising the risk of substandard and falsified (SF) medical products and leading to inefficiencies such 26 as stockouts or expired products (ref).

    Policy paper on traceability of medical products October 2020 © World Health Organization 2020. All rights reserved. This is a draft intended for review by Member States and all interested parties for the purpose of consultation. The content of this document is not final, and the text may be subject to revisions before publication. The document may not be reviewed, abstracted, quoted, reproduced, transmitted, distributed, translated or adapted, in part or in whole, in any form or by any means without the permission of the World Health Organization. 1 Policy paper on traceability of medical products Key points This policy paper outlines the features of existing traceability systems and provides guidance on developing workable traceability regulation. In the light of the widely varying needs, capacity, and resources of Member States, the risk mitigation and sustainability strategies embedded in implementation efforts will vary. Given the range of possible implementation pathways, a set of guiding principles will assist Member States in establishing systems best suited to their needs and constraints. For this purpose, Member States are encouraged to: • establish a suitable governance process for their traceability system based on the analysis of national specificities (e.g. regulatory environment, supply chain management), taking into account the impact of the different forms of governance on interoperability, cost, security, regulatory control and access to safe, quality medical products; • include a costing analysis as well as a sustainability mechanism in their traceability system planning to prevent costs from negatively impacting patients, government, supply chain stakeholders, and ultimately, access to medical products; and • use global standards for product identification, production identification, automatic identification, and data capture and data exchange to reduce set-up and operating system costs and maximize national and international interoperability.

  • Identification & Traceability of Medicinal Products
    Identification & Traceability of Medicinal Products – A tool towards strengthening health systems The global R&D based pharmaceutical industry is committed to ensure patient safety and is actively engaged in helping to secure the legal supply chain, namely through the use of traceability tools worldwide. Identification & traceability technologies are a set of tools that can effectively help in securing the supply chain, by enabling tracking forward the movement of medicinal products (in this case) through specified stage(s) of the extended supply chain and also trace backward the product’s history, application or location1. In this paper, we will be focusing on medicinal products (medicines, including biologics and vaccines), though many of these principles can be applied to medical devices. This document was developed by IFPMA with the support of other industry associations (AIFD, EFPIA, KRPIA and PSI). Substandard and falsified medicinal products pose a major challenge to patients and health systems all around the globe. Pharmaceutical crime, falsified, diverted or stolen pharmaceuticals has impacted 150 countries according to Pharmaceutical Security Institute (PSI). Falsified medicine has been found in every therapeutic category, the number of counterfeit injectables reached 19% which means that nearly one in every five counterfeit medicine detected in 2019 was an injectable formulation. Figures from the World Health Organization (WHO) reveal that around 1 in 10 medicinal products circulating in low- and middle-income countries is either substandard or falsified2. Many factors are at play here, but globalization and the tendency for increasingly complex pharmaceutical supply chains is one of the main challenges that Industry and National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) must tackle by constantly adapting its practices and policies.
