Application for Vnr

Nordic Article Numbers can be ordered swiftly by using the Vnr HUB: https://hub.vnr.fi. A user name and a password can be obtained on the same website https://hub.vnr.fi.

How to order a Nordic Vnr in the Vnr Service, please see instruction video here

In the Vnr Service companies can also see the current information of all their Nordic Article Numbers. The processing time for a Nordic Article Number order, when using the Vnr Service, is no more than three working days.

Application for a Nordic Article Number should be made when the Marketing Authorisation Holder (MAH) knows which packages will be marketed and really need Vnrs. Technically Vnrs can be applied for at any time.

NNC will only provide Vnr information to the owner of the article in question. All other requests for article information will be referred to the National administrators of product- and article information, see Contact information.

Vnr information is undisclosed until the marketing authorisation has been approved.

Start the order process by choosing whether you want to order a new Vnr number or confirm an existing Vnr number for other Nordic countries.
Please note that the criteria for a common Vnr must be met (same MAH, same trade name, same strength, same dosage form, same package size and same package type).

Earlier there was a need to specify for which markets a certain Vnr could be used (unlocked/locked). These order types will be phased out, and this has been removed from the Vnr order form.
