EU FMD / SecurPharm QR Code

European pharmacy serialization under the Falsified Medicines Directive. You can scan and verify one, but you won't find it in our generator.

What is a EU FMD / SecurPharm QR code?

A pharmacy serialization code on European medicine packaging lets a pharmacist confirm a specific pack hasn't already been sold or reported as invalid, catching counterfeit or diverted stock before it reaches a patient.

Who issues it

The pharmaceutical manufacturer assigns the identifier when packaging the product, and registers it with the national medicines verification system for that market.

The standard behind it

The EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) requires this serialization. Verification runs through SecurPharm (Germany) and equivalent national systems, all connected to the European Medicines Verification System.

Why you can't generate this here

The identifier is minted and assigned by an issuing authority or registry (a tax authority, health ministry, or goods-serialization registry). It can be checked, not manufactured by a third-party tool.

You can still scan and verify one with our free QR checker.

Frequently asked

Can I make a EU FMD / SecurPharm QR code with a generator?
No. A generated code with no matching manufacturer registration would fail the pharmacy's scan and could flag the pack as suspect.

Can I check whether one I received is genuine?
Yes, pharmacies check every pack automatically at the point of dispensing. check.qr.abundera.ai will show you the raw identifier.
