Malaysia NPRA Online Track and Trace System

NPRA Serialization Compliant Track And Trace System

The National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) of Malaysia, operating under the Ministry of Health Malaysia, has mandated pharmaceutical serialization and track and trace requirements to strengthen medicine authenticity, combat counterfeit drugs, and ensure full supply chain visibility. Under NPRA serialization rules, every pharmaceutical product manufactured in or imported into Malaysia must carry a unique GS1 DataMatrix code encoding GTIN, serial number, batch number, and expiry date, with product movement data reported to the NPRA national platform. Sun Teknovation's Online Track & Trace system is fully equipped to meet NPRA Serialization requirements, enabling pharmaceutical manufacturers and importers to generate unique serialized codes, verify printed codes in real-time, manage multi-level aggregation, and report all product data directly to the NPRA platform. Our system ensures end-to-end compliance, helping you avoid import rejections, regulatory penalties, and market disruptions while maintaining seamless product flow into the Malaysian market.
