Earlier this year, General specification for the traceability of food and the food code of retrospective information coding and marking two national standards for food goes back through validation, in a series of food quality and traceability of national standards are being developed, and will continue to improve food quality and safety traceability standard system in China. But need more than food and pharmaceutical fields of safety and security, the system is still blank.

       Guo Fanli, a researcher at the investment adviser the pharmaceutical industry pointed out that, in fact, drugs Unicode has long been on the agenda, but, until now, uniform coding of drugs as in the current reform of public hospitals remained without any substantive progress. In relation to food safety, drug safety hazard severity the greater, the fake vaccine shortly before death, a maiming an event just because the vaccine did not include the production and distribution process unified barcode, resulting in drugs goes back very difficult when a problem occurs.

       Guo Fanli pointed out that drugs HS no substantive progress has been associated with the following two aspects. First of all, some enterprises in the internal encoding system, but does not apply outside of the enterprise, which results in uniform flow of drugs, circulation Enterprise tracing for the safety and quality of drugs there is no uniform drug after entering a pharmacy there is no uniform coding audit of its identity. Enterprise's fragmented if the code is to be implemented in the context of a unified, also face a coordination problem.

       Zhang Yanlin, Director of the consultancy study points out that CIC and, secondly, not binding of the reality of current industry association, government departments did not act in this regard, which leads directly to drug the Unicode goals on hold. Currently, drug coding system of drug regulation in a job action, but drug management in our country and the huge loopholes in the drug case, to so many companies, so many varieties of a unified coding standard, severe lack of enthusiasm of the relevant departments.

       Investment consultants published the 2010-2015 Chinese medical industry investment analysis and forecast report, now in uniform coding of many industries have become common in the pharmaceutical industry are missing, pharmaceutical factory with barcode, but the circulation and realigning coding, recoding to the Pharmacy and, very confusing. This not only increases the flow of drugs from factory to cost, also greatly reduces the efficiency and, therefore, to achieve drug a unified coding standard, should also vigorously with related departments.
