A new regulatory update was released last week by ASL BELGISI – xTrace 2.0 (Uzbekistan’s National Hub),last week introducing a key change to packaging serial number (AI 21) formation.
=As-Is: Serial numbers were fully random.
=To-Be: The first character must now be a fixed digit “7”, added automatically by the system to support cross-country mutual recognition.
Code templates and total length remain unchanged(13)
so, this is important to highlight that,vendor selection in Track & Trace isn’t about choosing the cheapest option, it’s about resilience, flexibility, and the ability to adapt quickly to regulatory changes.
