Change of product data

You can use the following notification options to order changes to product data:

Change and addition of product data

• IFA portal
• Request a current EAD file 
• IFA-Auftragstabelle C – Product Changes

Changes to product-identifying characteristics (product name, packaging size, pharmaceutical form, information medicinal product, product type) are excluded and require the assignment of a new PZN.

E.g.: Außer Vertrieb – Marketing ceased

If a product is no longer sold, you can notify the distribution status Außer Vertrieb (AV) and no longer deliver the product. Stock items may be sold - provided they are marketable. The AV marking is final and results in the deletion of the article data/PZN. Re-publication is excluded.

• Medicinal products remain visible in the database products for 24 months after AV labeling and are then deleted.
• Medical devices and other pharmacy-typical products remain visible in the database products for 6 months after AV labeling and are then deleted.

E.g.: PZN transfer to another supplier

• IFA portal
• IFA-Auftragstabelle C – Product Changes

With the PZN transfer, the notification rights of affected PZNs change from the former to the future supplier.
As a prerequisite the future supplier has to be a customer of IFA GmbH.

• Both marketed and marketing ceased Products/PZNs as well as pre-allocated PZNs that have not yet been published may be transferred.
• For the order, both the former and the future supplier must enclose a declaration of consent addressed to IFA GmbH, stating the PZNs concerned (otherwise: "entire product range").
• The costs for the transfer of already published products have to be settled by the future supplier, the transfer of assigned PZNs is free of charge.
