Health informatics – Identification of medicinal products – Data elements and structures for unique identification and exchange of regulated pharmaceutical product information

This standard provides information relevant to the identification of a medicinal product or group of medicinal products. It defines the data elements, structures and relationships required for the exchange of regulated information to uniquely identify pharmaceutical products.

This standard supports interoperability and compatibility by ensuring that pharmaceutical product information is assembled in a structured format with transmission between a diverse set of stakeholders for both regulatory and clinical (e.g. e-prescribing, clinical decision support) purposes.

This is 1 of 5 ISO IDMP standards. Medicinal products for veterinary use are not within the scope of this document.
