Chestny ZNAK is the state control system in Russia that allows products to be traced from production to the end user.<\/p>\n
System:<\/p>\n
DataMatrix imposes code enforcement<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Assigns unique digital identity to each product<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Requests registration in the central database<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Tracks product movements<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The Chestny ZNAK system is expanding rapidly.<\/p>\n
Chestny ZNAK is Russia’s national digital traceability system for tracking products from production to point of sale.<\/p>\n
Under this system, unique DataMatrix codes must be applied to products and these codes must be reported to the central system.<\/p>\n
As of today, many sectors have already fallen under this scope:<\/p>\n
Pharmaceuticals
\n✔ Textiles and apparel
\n✔ Footwear
\n✔ Perfumes and cosmetics
\n✔ Tobacco products
\n✔ Automotive tires
\n✔ Milk and dairy products
\n✔ Bottled water
\n✔ Camera and photographic equipment<\/p>\n
But here is the key point:<\/p>\n
📈 Russia plans to expand this system to almost all sectors.<\/p>\n
The following sectors are also expected to expand in the near future:<\/p>\n
* food products
\n* beverages
\n* electronics
\n* home appliances
\n* toys
\n* cosmetics
\n* automotive consumables<\/p>\n
This means a new requirement for producers exporting to Russia:<\/p>\n
✔ DataMatrix coding on the production line
\n✔ Serialization and product traceability
\n✔ Verification and camera control systems<\/p>\n
The codes used in the system are usually:<\/p>\n
GS1 DataMatrix<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
2D barcode format<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Serial number<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
GTIN<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Cryptographic verification code<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Incorrect contrast, low DPI or incorrect data structure may result in the product not being available in Russia.<\/p>\n
Professional coding infrastructure is therefore essential.<\/p>\n
Problems faced by companies exporting to Russia:<\/p>\n
❗ DataMatrix quality does not meet standards<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
❗ High speed printing errors<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Serial number integration problem<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
ERP \/ production line incompatibility<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
❗ Lack of code verification<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We eliminate these risks.<\/p>\n
It is no longer just the production of the product, but it also needs to be digitally traceable.<\/p>\n
As Karma Kodlama, we see that this issue is increasingly on the agenda in our meetings with manufacturers in different sectors.<\/p>\n
Early planning of this transformation by companies exporting to the Russian market can prevent future operational problems.<\/p>\n
