Health informatics - Identification of medicinal products - Implementation guidelines for ISO 11616 data elements and structures for the unique identification and exchange of regulated pharmaceutical product information (ISO/TS 20451:2017)

ISO/TS 20451:2017 defines the concepts required to associate pharmaceutical products with an appropriate set of PhPID(s) in accordance with ISO 11616.
Pharmaceutical identifiers and elements are to represent pharmaceutical products as represented in a Medicinal Product as indicated by a Medicines Regulatory Authority. The suite of ISO IDMP standards can be applied to off-label usage of Medicinal Products, but is currently outside of the scope of ISO/TS 20451:2017.
Reference to ISO 11238, ISO 11239, ISO 11240 and ISO 11615 and HL7 messaging standards, HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM), HL7 V3 Common Product Model (CPM) and HL7 V3 Structured Product Labelling (SPL) can be applied for pharmaceutical product information in the context of ISO/TS 20451:2017.

Standard ISO/TS 20451:2017 določa opredelitve, ki so potrebne za povezavo farmacevtskih izdelkov z ustreznim naborom PhPID-jev v skladu s standardom ISO 11616.
Namen farmacevtskih identifikatorjev in elementov je predstaviti farmacevtske izdelke, kot so predstavljeni v medicinskem izdelku in kot to določa Regulativni organ za zdravila (MRA). Zbirka standardov ISO IDMP se lahko uporabi za izjemno uporabo medicinskih izdelkov, vendar trenutno ne spada na področje uporabe standarda ISO/TS 20451:2017.
Sklice na standarde ISO 11238, ISO 11239, ISO 11240 in ISO 11615 ter standarde o sporočanju HL7 (HL7 – referenčni informacijski model (RIM), HL7 V3 – splošni model za izdelke (CPM) in HL7 V3 – strukturirano označevanje izdelkov (SPL)) je mogoče uporabiti za informacije o farmacevtskih izdelkih v kontekstu standarda ISO/TS 20451:2017.

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
This document gives guidelines for implementing ISO 11616, one of the five ISO IDMP standards. The
five ISO Standards and four ISO Technical Specifications, when used together, provide the basis for
exchanging data elements that will support the unique and unambiguous identification of Medicinal
Products. The primary purpose of this document is to provide technical guidance to software
implementers; short descriptions of business rationale are also included, where relevant, to provide
context. Thus, this document focuses on business and technical considerations for implementation
that will construct and parse well-formed, transmittable IDMP messages. Following transmission of
required data elements, unique identifiers are to be produced in conformance with the standards to
support applications where it is necessary to reliably identify and trace regulated biopharmaceutical
products. However, this document does not include extensive information on creation or maintenance
of identifier repositories. Reference is made to regional guidance/implementation guides to support
practical implementation within a given region/jurisdiction. The development of an ISO technical
report for identifying core principles for the maintenance of identifiers and terms for ISO IDMP is
to be developed and referenced for applicable ISO IDMP standards and corresponding technical
specifications.

3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
4 Conformance
— Mandatory: Defining elements necessary for the unique identification of Medicinal Products per the
ISO IDMP standards/technical specifications.
— Conditional: Conditional applies to the “within category” data elements, as applicable, when there
are alternative data sources for a given data element(s) to identify a medicinal/pharmaceutical
product. Regional implementation of the ISO IDMP standards/technical specifications may elevate
the conditional conformance categories to “mandatory” per regional requirements.
— Optional: When listed at the category level (e.g. specified substance), optional corresponds to
ISO categories or data elements that are not absolutely necessary for the unique identification of
medicinal/pharmaceutical products according to the ISO IDMP standards/technical specifications.
Regional implementation of the ISO IDMP standards/technical specifications may elevate the
optional conformance categories to “mandatory” or “conditional” per regional requirements.
5 Concepts required for the unique identification of pharmaceutical products
5.1 General considerations for elements required for the unique identification of
pharmaceutical products
This clause, along with Annex A and Annex B, describes the elements and messaging required to
uniquely identify and characterise a pharmaceutical product. It provides the requirements to support
pharmaceutical product identification. Examples are given in Annex C.
Pharmaceutical product identification (PhPID) shall be based on the following subset of elements that
describe the pharmaceutical product (see Figure 1):
a) active substance(s)/specified substance(s);
NOTE The substance(s) within the ingredient role “active” and “adjuvant” are utilised to define the PhPID.
b) strength(s), strength units (units of measurement and/or unit of presentation);
c) reference strength(s) includes reference substance(s) (i.e. active moiety and its corresponding
strength);
d) administrable dose form;
e) medical device, when it is a component of a Medicinal Product.
5.2 Principles required for the unique identification of a pharmaceutical product
The following principles for the unique identification of a pharmaceutical product shall apply:
a) a Medicinal Product may relate to one or more pharmaceutical products as part of a treatment
regime [e.g. a kit, which might be a combination pack containing vaginal tablets (500 mg) and an
external vaginal cream (10 %)];

SIST-TS CEN ISO/TS 20451:2018
ISO/TS 20451:2017(E)

b) the characterisation of the pharmaceutical product(s) based on the active substance(s)/specified
substance(s), the (reference) strength thereof, the administrable dose form(s), and the medical
device (e.g. a scaffolding for cell-based products) being part of the Medicinal Product (e.g.
drug/device combination);
c) the description of the pharmaceutical product(s) in the pharmaceutical dose form approved for
administration, where applicable, after reconstitution and as authorised in accordance with the
regulated product information;
d) the association of the regulated (investigational) Medicinal Product and the pharmaceutical
product(s) using the PhPID(s).
6 Identifying characteristics for the identification of pharmaceutical products
6.1 Pharmaceutical product identification strata and levels
PhPID sets shall be represented within two strata (active substance stratum and specified substance
stratum), both of which contain four PhPID identification levels, for each pharmaceutical product
contained in a Medicinal Product.
PhPID sets shall be generated using the substance standard (see ISO 11238 and ISO/TS 19844), the
strength and administrable dose form section (see ISO 11239 and ISO/TS 20440) and the unit(s) of
measurement standard (see ISO 11240) as illustrated below.
Reference strength shall be repeated in both PhPID strata. The reference strength shall be derived from
the active moiety/moieties of an active substance(s) depending on the specific product characteristics.
All the PhPID strata can be described at four different levels from 1 to 4 as shown in Table 1.
Table 1 — Four levels of PhPID
PhPID_SUB_L1 → substance(s)
PhPID_SUB_L2 → substance(s) + strength + reference strength
PhPID active
substance PhPID_SUB_L3 → substance(s) + administrable dose form
stratum
PhPID_SUB_L4 → substance(s) + strength + reference strength
+ administrable dose form
PhPID_SpSUB_L1 → specified substance(s)
PhPID_SpSUB_L2 → specified substance(s) + strength + reference strength
PhPID specified
substance PhPID_SpSUB_L3 → specified substance(s) + administrable dose form
stratum
PhPID_SpSUB_L4 → specified substance(s) + strength + reference strength
+ administrable dose form
A pharmaceutical product may refer to a drug that is associated with a medical device. In this instance,
the device term and term ID (i.e. unique device identifier) shall be displayed with the active substance(s)
and specified substance(s) terms for the product at all applicable PhPID levels. This association shall
be made by directly associating the assigned PhPIDs to a Medicinal Product and its corresponding
MPID/PCID as outlined in ISO 11615 and ISO/TS 20443.
Strength is not applicable to a device.
A region may further refine the requirements in relation to specification of the medical device as part
of this document at implementation so that this information is to be specified only if required.
A pharmaceutical product may refer to a drug that is associated with an adjuvant (e.g. vaccine). In this
instance, the adjuvant term and term ID shall be displayed with the active substance(s) and specified
substance(s) terms for the product at all applicable PhPID levels. This association shall be made by

directly associating the assigned PhPIDs to a Medicinal Product and its corresponding MPID and PCID
as outlined in ISO 11615 and ISO/TS 20443.
Strength shall indicate quantity, unit of measurement and/or unit of presentation.
Administrable dose form is derived from the pharmaceutical product.
Placebos shall be captured as active substances when utilised as a comparator. Regional implementation
guides will provide more information as some regional regulation defines what is considered a placebo
or active substance.
6.2 PhPID specified substance
As described in ISO 11238, specified substance(s) shall capture detailed characteristics of single
substances
