National Administration for Market Regulation seeks public comments on the "Regulations on the Management of Product Barcodes"

Product barcodes, as the "ID cards" of products, are an indispensable infrastructure of modern commercial civilization. In order to meet the needs of building a unified national market, the State Administration for Market Regulation has revised the "Regulations on the Management of Product Barcodes" to further strengthen the management of product barcodes. The revised "Regulations" clarify the scope of application, the definition of product barcodes, the management organization and working mechanism of product barcodes, and prescribe the registration principles for manufacturer identification codes.
