Scanning and verification of originality are subject to drugs with the availability categories Rp, Rpz, Rpw and Lz. According to the definition contained in the Pharmaceutical Law: "pharmaceutical raw material - is a substance or mixture of substances used in the preparation or manufacture of medicinal products". Thus, pharmaceutical raw materials do not need to have a QR code on packaging. Instead, they shall be subject to a preliminary series check at the expense of the marketing authorisation holder.
