BS EN 16679:2014EN 16679:2014 (E) 5 Introduction Directive 2011/62/EU 1, commonly referred to as the “Falsified Medicines Directive” (FMD), amending Directive 2001

20、/83/EC 2, requires safety features for certain medicinal products to provide verification of the “authenticity and identification of individual packs”, and “a device allowing verification of whether the outer packaging has been tampered with”. Directives are implemented into Member States national l

21、egislation. This document is primarily aimed at supporting the implementation of tamper verification features to packaging for medicinal products in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA). BS EN 16679:2014EN 16679:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements and

22、 provides guidance for the application, use and check of tamper verification features to the packaging of medicinal products. NOTE The packaging of medicinal products placed on the market and incorporating tamper verification features in accordance with this European Standard meets the requirements

23、of Directive 2001/83/EC as amended by Directive 2011/62/EU. Article 54(o) of the Directive stipulates, that on the outer packaging of certain medicinal products or, where there is no outer packaging, on the immediate packaging shall appear, among others, “a device allowing verification of whether th

24、e outer packaging has been tampered with”. The principles in this European Standard can be applied in other countries and sectors, as appropriate. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 dispensing person person authorized or entitled

25、 to supply medicinal products to the public 2.2 Falsified Medicines Directive FMD Directive 2011/62/EU 2.3 finished product authorized medicinal product which has undergone all stages of production including packaging in its final container as it is dispensed, sold or otherwise supplied 2.4 immediat

26、e packaging primary packaging container or other form of packaging immediately in contact with the medicinal product Note 1 to entry: The term immediate packaging, also known as primary packaging, has been chosen in the context of this European Standard because it is contained in Directive 2001/83/E

27、C. 2.5 manufacturing authorization holder natural or legal person or entity that is authorized for total or partial manufacture, and/or for the various processes of dividing up, packaging or presentation (in accordance with Directive 2001/83/EC, Article 40(2) Note 1 to entry: This includes replaceme

28、nt of safety and tamper verification features (in accordance with Directive 2001/83/EC, Article 47a(1)(b) as amended by Directive 2011/62/EU). 2.6 marketing authorization holder natural or legal person or entity responsible for placing the medicinal product on the market 2.7 outer packaging secondar

29、y packaging packaging into which the immediate packaging is placed as it is dispensed or otherwise supplied Note 1 to entry: The term outer packaging, also known as secondary packaging, has been chosen in the context of this standard because it is contained in Directive 2001/83/EC.

32、005, 3.8.4 3 General requirements 3.1 Tamper verification features Tamper verification features shall be applied to packaging of certain medicinal products as required in Directive 2001/83/EC as amended by Directive 2011/62/EU. 3.2 Purpose of tamper verification features Tamper verification features

33、 should provide an indication that the outer packaging of a finished product has been opened or tampered with (i.e. indicating a possible adulteration or entry of falsified medicinal products into the legitimate supply chain). Tamper verification features limit the ability to replace the contents of

34、 genuine packs. Tamper verification features are only one element of the safety features against falsification of the FMD and will not by themselves prevent falsification of medicinal products. 3.3 Application and use of tamper verification features The application of tamper verification features sh

35、all not compromise the readability of statutory information. The statutory text on the packaging should remain readable after opening the pack. Applying tamper verification features may increase the physical strength needed to open the packaging. 3.4 Check of tamper verification features The tamper

36、verification feature should enable a visual check for its presence and any evidence of tampering (see 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 for details). The immediate packaging of medicinal products may also provide tamper verification. This serves a different purpose, most significantly

37、to prevent interference with the medicinal product itself and does not meet the tamper verification requirements of Directive 2001/83/EC as amended by Directive 2011/62/EU. However it also provides another level of protection against tampering but only in combination with additional measures as desc

38、ribed. Wholesalers, dispensing persons and other authorized persons may need access to information on the tamper verification features employed on particular products. NOTE Other authorized persons include holders of a manufacturing authorization or customs authorities. BS EN 16679:2014EN 16679:2014

39、 (E) 8 4 Categories of tamper verification features 4.1 General Tamper verification technologies applied on the packaging are under constant evolution. Nine broad categories of tamper verification features are described in this European Standard (see 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 and 4.10).

40、 Other tamper verification features may exist or be developed and shall meet the requirements of this European Standard as appropriate. The illustrations in Clause 4 are non-exhaustive. Annex A provides additional information on tamper verification features as listed in 4.2 to 4.10. If there is no o

41、uter packaging, the immediate packaging (e.g. bottles and tubes) should be equipped with a tamper verification feature in accordance with 4.4 to 4.10. Tamper verification features shall meet the requirements of Clause 3. The marketing authorization holder shall decide (if legally required) on approp

42、riate tamper verification feature(s) out of the following (see 4.2 to 4.11). This choice may be based on an assessment that takes into account a number of factors including technical feasibility, appropriateness, effectiveness, other safety features used on the product, and overall cost. 4.2 Folding

43、 boxes closed with glue 4.2.1 Description A glue, e.g. hot melt, polyurethane, dispersion or other glues, or a combination of glues is applied to close the folding box. These boxes may incorporate perforations to facilitate the opening of the pack. 4.2.2 Criteria of tamper verification Folding boxes

44、 closed with glue shall be cut or torn to gain access to the product. The box cannot be opened without visual tear-off/ripping-off of the carton board surface and/or other parts of the folding box. 4.2.3 Verification First time opening of the folding box leads to visible damage of the folding box in

45、tegrity, for example (see Figure 1 and Figure 2): visible damage of one or more of the flaps (see Figure 1 b) and Figure 1 c); visible damage of perforations (see Figure 2 b) and Figure 2 c); visible damage of other parts of the folding box.

47、1 Description The flaps and the body of the folding box are constructed in such a way that the feature is activated/enabled by inserting the flaps by the manufacturer to close the folding box. First time opening leads to a visible, irreversible change of the folding box appearance in such way, that

48、parts of the flaps or of the folding box are damaged. 4.3.2 Criteria of tamper verification The closure is set up in such a way that, the first time the box is opened, parts of the flaps or of the folding box are ripped off and/or are torn.

49、st time opening leads to visible, irreversible damage of the folding box integrity for example (see Figure 3): visible damage of one or more of the flaps (see Figure 3 b) and Figure 3 c); visible damage of perforations and/or scores/half cuts, if applicable; visible damage of other parts of the folding box. a) Original condition b) Opened c) Condition in which the reclosing of the opened condition shows the first time opening Figure 3 Example of a specially constructed folding box 4.4 Sealing labels and tapes 4.4.1 Description A label or tape (e.g.
