‘‘Radiofrequency Identification 

Feasibility Studies and Pilot Programs

discretion, until December 31, 2007,

Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) 

tags for drugs. The goal of the CPG is to 

allow industry to gain experience with 

the use of RFID technology to ensure the 

long-term safety and integrity of the U.S. 

drug supply.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On February 18, 2004, FDA published 

a report entitled ‘‘Combating Counterfeit 

Drugs’’ which is available on the FDA 

Web site at http://www.fda.gov/oc/

initiatives/counterfeit. In that report the 

agency identified RFID technology as 

the cornerstone in the fight against 

counterfeit drugs and announced our 

intention to facilitate the adoption of 

RFID technology by participants in the 

pharmaceutical supply chain. We also 

stated that widespread adoption of RFID 

technology was feasible by 2007.

Recently, FDA has received inquiries 

focusing on whether certain regulatory 

requirements, including those related to 

labeling, electronic records, and product 

quality, apply to pharmaceutical 

manufacturers, repackagers, relabelers, 

distributors, retailers, or others who 

participate in feasibility studies and 

pilot programs (collectively ‘‘a study’’ or 

‘‘studies’’) using RFID tags for drugs. 

This CPG describes how we intend to 

exercise our enforcement discretion 

regarding such studies. The exercise of 

such enforcement discretion expires on 

December 31, 2007. The goal of this CPG 

is to facilitate the performance of RFID 

studies and allow industry to gain 

experience with the use of RFID.

FDA is issuing this document as a 

level 1 guidance consistent with FDA’s 

good guidance practices regulation 

(§ 10.115 (21 CFR 10.115)). The new 

CPG Sec. 400.210 is being implemented 

immediately without prior public 

comment under § 10.115(g)(2), because 

the agency has determined that prior 

public participation is not feasible or 

appropriate, but comments are welcome 

at any time. The agency also thinks that 

use of RFID technology is critical to 

ensuring the long-term safety and 

integrity of the U.S. drug supply and 

immediate guidance is needed to 

facilitate studies of RFID.

II. Comments

Interested persons may submit to the 

Division of Dockets Management (see 

ADDRESSES) written or electronic 

comments on the guidance document. 

Submit two copies of written comments, 

except that individuals may submit one 

copy. Comments are to be identified 

with the docket number found in 

brackets in the heading of this 

document. The guidance and received 

comments may be seen in the Division 

of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. 

and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
