Industry challenges

Pharma is especially strict:

  • individual packs, no batch focus
  • temperature logs often as required data
  • consumer information strictly regulated (no marketing in the DPP)
  • global supply chains with the highest audit requirements

Pharma is not covered by the ESPR. Mandatory instead are FMD serialisation and, with the EU Pharmaceutical Package, the electronic product information (ePI) step by step - voluntary at first from 2026, and in future mandatory for newly authorised medicines. DPP structures complement both.

What goes in the DPP for Pharmaceuticals?

The key data fields required by the relevant EU regulation.

Serialisation

Active substances

Supply chain

Registration

Marketing authorisation number, indications, contraindications, side effects.
