In the "Identifier Forum" of the conference, the connection between the physical flow of goods and electronic communication was discussed and the crucial role that unique identification plays. 
The virtual event, which was attended by about 100 participants, aimed at updating information on UDI implementation in accordance with the Medical Devices Act. The topics ranged from UDI-compliant marking to the required product registrations in the UDI database EUDAMED to the practice at the manufacturer site. The summary provides an overview on UDI and its implementation specialities for Europe. Additional information can be found in the UDI book published by Beuth-Verlag, second edition, for details on UDI (see link below).

From now on, each new CIN from E-D-C will get a certificate that includes ISO/IEC 20248 Digital Signature (DigSig) in the form of a QR code. The QR contains a DigSig URL. If the QR is scanned and the URL is posted to the Internet, then the verification data of the owner of the CIN will be accessed and the validity information to the registered ID will be opened automatically.
This solution for verification of a CIN (used for globally unique marking and identification of products, locations, processes, etc.) was realized with the help of IT service provider and specialist in authentication and verification "TRUEVOLVE", Cape Town (SA). TRUEVOLVE is hosting the DigSig domain for the verification process (https://www.truevolve.com).
The eEuropean Medical device manufacturer association published a very helpful document about the assignment of the Basic UDI-DI (BUDI):

We want to express our thanks to Medtech Europe.
The following article resumes the developpment of the GS1/HIBC BUDI checksum:
Die IFA GmbH wurde mit dem Durchführungsbeschluss von der EU Kommission vom 6. Juni 2019 als Zuteilungsstelle für UDI-DI benannt. Eine nach dem IFA Coding System auf der Packung kodierte Pharmacy Product Number (PPN) stellt damit eine MDR-konforme UDI-DI dar.
