Application of CM

Application of marking codes is a key step in the digital marking system. It transforms codes obtained from the marking system into digital identification means (DataMatrix codes), enabling products to be legally introduced to the market.

The issuer (manufacturer or importer) converts marking codes into digital identification means (DataMatrix codes), applies them to the products, and registers a report on the application (use) of these codes in the digital marking system.

Thus, the marking application report: confirms the fact of production and the application of digital identification means (DataMatrix codes) on product packaging; Activates the marking codes and changes their status from “Issued” to “Applied” or “In Circulation”, depending on the selected method of placing goods into circulation. enables further operations with marked goods, such as aggregation, shipment, sale, write-off, etc.

Content of the marking application report

The report on the application (use) of marking codes includes:

• general information: applicant, place of business activity, and product group;
• a list of marking codes actually used for labeling;
• method of market entry (production or import);
• country of origin;
• production date;
• expiration date;
• production batch / lot number.

The production date, expiration date, and batch number are embedded in the marking codes and used for analytics and regulatory compliance monitoring. In particular:

• an incorrect expiration date may result in the inability to sell goods at retail (in accordance with the Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated December 6, 2025 No. PP-206 “On measures to ensure effective consumer protection”);
• an incorrect batch number may lead to suspension of circulation and sale of goods (e.g., in case of a product recall due to quality or safety concerns).

Consequences of not submitting the report

If the marking application report is not registered:

• the codes remain inactive, and the product cannot be legally sold;
• possession and circulation of such goods constitute a serious violation of digital marking regulations;
• there is a risk of product blocking at the point of sale.
