The Netherlands Medicines Evaluation Board (MEB) has defined policy regarding the use of QR codes on the outer packaging and/or in the package leaflet for medicinal products. The policy outlines the conditions that QR code (a type of two dimensional barcode) use must fulfil.
With this policy, the MEB addresses companies' demands for making product information available via QR codes. These QR codes can be read using mobile devices (smartphone, tablet). This policy was developed in cooperation with companies, holders and applicants of marketing authorizations. The same approach applies to technologies with the same purpose as the QR code.
Also applies to parallel-imported medicines
