NO: Product codes in Norway

Product codes must be registered on farmalogg.no, either via registration of new Vnrs, or by adding new product codes to existing Vnrs. The barcodes are used by wholesalers and pharmacies as the identifier in the physical handling of the medicines and is essential in the verification at the point of dispensing. For further information about product codes, please see the Industry standard for product codes.

Change of product code

If a GTIN is changed without a corresponding change of Vnr, the new product code must be added to the Vnr at farmalogg.no. Each Vnr may be linked to multiple product codes. For further information, see Change situations Vnr vs. GTIN. Please note the general rule; If the Vnr changes, the GTIN always changes.
