EU Directive on Serialisation Pharma
The EU Falsified Medicines Directive 2011/62/EU enforced on February 9, 2019 stipulates that the manufacturer must provide pharmaceuticals with several safety features. The EU Directive on the Serialization of Medicinal Products aims to guarantee complete authenticity verification and effectively curb the occurrence of falsified medicinal products on the market. For producers of pharmaceuticals this means that anyone not complying with the requirements for pharma serialization cannot sell medicinal products on the European market.
Find out now which conditions will have to be met in the EU!
US DSCSA Deadline Requirements
Implementation of the serialization obligation came in even earlier in the USA than in the EU. Since many national pharmaceutical manufacturers could not meet the very tight deadline by the end of 2017 and there were threats of a supply shortage, the FDA had postponed the deadline by a year.
Find out now what conditions will have to be met in the USA.
Information graphic Serialization Pharma: All global serialization requirements at a glance – compact and comprehensible
Our project engineers and serialization and aggregation experts use the national requirements for serialization in the pharma industry as the basis for preparing the right machine and line configuration for you.

Compact Serialization Pharma Solution for Greater Drug Safety
TQS Fast Track – Implement Fully Automated Serialization Solutions Within 6 Weeks
The serialization of pharmaceuticals is highly strategic and is assigned a key role in the production environment. It ultimately depends on this whether a product is saleable at all. A completely controlled production flow can still fail right up to the last stage in the product design process, possibly the palletizing of individual boxes prior to shipping.
Since February 2019, pharmaceutical companies in the EU have had to serialize their products in accordance with the EU Directive. They therefore had less than two years to implement a serialization solution. For the US market, the deadline was set for November 2018 – American pharmaceutical companies had to comply with the requirements of the DSCSA guidelines by then.
This is where best practice from WIPOTEC-OCS comes into play. We provide standardised serialization machines which perform the greatest possible number of required market- and manufacturer-specific functions. Pre-engineering thus enables a lead time of six weeks. The delivery and configuration of an open XML interface which is included in all Serialization & Aggregation (i.e. Track & Trace) TQS solutions allows serialization machines to be installed and commissioned in the shortest time possible. The solutions from WIPOTEC-OCS are perfectly tailored to meet the needs of pharmaceutical companies, enabling them to achieve timely compliance with guidelines on the serialization obligation. As a result, there is hardly any faster way to meet the international requirements for serialization in the pharmaceutical industry while at the same time avoiding proprietary stand-alone solutions.
TQS Fast Track- the fast response to tight serialization deadlines
Supplier Independence due to Highly Flexible Serialization Software Solution With Open Interfaces
TQS stands for the open communication approach of the Serialization & Aggregation solutions from WIPOTEC-OCS. The Traceable Quality System underscores our philosophy of supporting the healthcare industry to satisfy global guidelines on serialization in the pharma sector in the best way possible. The open interfaces of the TQS solutions enable the flexible use of products from different manufacturers and thus avoid so-called vendor lock-in. The interoperability standards created as a result permit data exchange and collaboration across many systems. This approach gives you the flexibility to choose and apply the vendor solutions that you need in order to respond to different requirements in pharma serialization, production and packaging.
These open solutions avoid issues caused by involuntary manufacturer dependencies, such as the risk of production losses due to delayed software adaptations or difficulties in responding to changing regulations.
TQS Line Manager - open interfaces for avoiding lock-ins
The Certain EXTRA: That Makes Serialization Pharma With WIPOTEC-OCS So Unique
So along with the open system interface, it is not only the very short delivery times for best practice serialization and aggregation machines or the options for universal integration into other packaging machines which are the key benefits of the complete Serialization & Aggregation (i.e.Track & Trace) solutions from WIPOTEC-OCS. The fact that the overall system originates from a single source, is built in a single location and is controlled via a single interface is at least equally important. In addition to serialization parameters, it is possible to detect other product attributes such as weight and code quality for a truly unique selling point. All attributes can be stored together with the serial number (TQS Traceability+).
Outstanding features of Track & Trace TQS: Free software updates
Less obvious, and therefore all the more noteworthy, is the fact that we charge no fees for software updates and maintenance. We ensure that the software of your WIPOTEC-OCS machines is always up-to-date so that you easily comply with the country-specific guidelines on the serialization of pharmaceuticals even if they change. This additional unique selling point of TQS is a significant cost benefit at a time when new catalogues of measures and legislative adaptations in the field of serialization pharma cannot be ruled out.
