HOW TO RECORD |
|
1 |
The method for recording the date (day, month, year) for the production date, expiration date, and storage date is stipulated in Article 14 of this Decree. A period (.), a slash (/), a hyphen (-), or a space ( ). may be used between the day, month, and year. |
- Manufacturing date: 020416 - Manufacturing date: 02/04/16, - Manufacturing date: 02042016 - Manufacturing date: 02042016 - Manufacturing date: 02/04/16 - Manufacturing date: 020416 - Manufacturing date: 020416 - Expiry Date: 021018 - Manufacturing Date: 160402 (year/month/day) |
|
2 |
If it is not possible to write the words "Manufacturer" and "Expiration Date" along with the numbers indicating the day, month, and year, instructions must be provided on the label. |
For example, if the production date and expiration date are listed as “020416 021018” at the bottom of the packaging, then the label should state: “See production date and expiration date at the bottom of the packaging”. |
|
3 |
If the label states "Manufacturer" or "Expiration Date" in a foreign language, then instructions must be provided on the label. |
For example: If the packaging shows the manufacturing date and expiration date as “MFG 020416 EXP 021018”, then the label should state: Manufacturing date and expiration date are based on “MFG” and “EXP” on the packaging. |
|
4 |
According to regulations, when recording the production month, both the month number and the year number should be included. |
For example: If manufactured in February 2006, the label might say "Manufactured 02/16" or "Manufactured 02/2016" or "Manufactured in February 2016". |
|
5 |
According to regulations, the year of manufacture must be recorded using all four digits. |
Products manufactured in 2016 will have the label stating "Manufactured in 2016" or "Year of manufacture: 2016". |
