A system for blocking expired goods at the checkout has been launched in Russia

From April 1, 2024, a mechanism for blocking expired goods at the checkout began to be introduced in Russia. It is built on the basis of the Honest Sign system.

According to RIA Novosti, the permit regime for the sale of labeled goods at the checkout, thanks to which it is prohibited to sell illegal and expired goods using the labeling system, started with 13 groups of goods subject to labeling: tobacco, beer, dairy products, water, antiseptics, dietary supplements, shoes, cameras, tires, clothing, perfumes, soft drinks and medical products.

Revaz Yusupov, deputy general director of the CRPT (operator of the Honest Sign marking system), spoke about the principle of operation of this mechanism. When the cashier scans the label code, the store's cash register software accesses the "Fair Sign" for product information. In the event of an expiration date or a ban on sale by regulatory authorities (or if the marking code is trying to sell again), information about the impossibility of such a sale will go to the cashier and the goods will not be sold.

According to Yusupov, the new technology is designed to protect consumers from purchasing products with violations. It will also become a new control tool in the context of a moratorium on inspections for the state.

If the store's cash desk does not submit data in the format of a permit regime or the Honest Sign system records deviations, then this is a reason for Rospotrebnadzor to pay attention to this seller, and if a violation is detected, apply sanctions, - added the deputy head of the CRPT.

Co-Chairman of the Digital Initiatives Committee of the Association of Retailers (ACORT). Anna Orlova noted that large retail chains of the Uzhi began to work with the permissive regime even before the official start of the mechanism.^[1]

The digital labeling system for 5 years brought the Russian budget 1 trillion rubles

The digital labeling system for 5 years brought the budget Russia 1 trillion rubles. This was announced in May 2024 by the head of the operator of the Honest Sign marking system -. Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies (CRPT) Mikhail Dubin

At the end of 2023, the amount of additional revenues to the country's budget and legal business from labeling exceeded one trillion rubles. And yes, in June there will be 5 years, as we work on the principles of an agreement on public-private partnership, "he said in a conversation with RIA Novosti in May 2024.

According to Dubin, excisable products have become the main source of additional revenues to the country's budget. Approximately 800 billion rubles of this amount is a fiscal effect, with tobacco accounting for about 30% of these revenues.

As the CRPT clarified to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, thanks to the introduction of the labeling system, the dairy market has become whitewashed by 17%. The production of counterfeit products decreased 60 times (at the beginning of 2023 it was 30%, by May 2024 - 0.5%), and the turnover of expired dairy products fell by 81% (from 16 million to 3 million). The packaged water market was whitewashed by 45%, with quality up 88%. In footwear, the market whitewash amounted to 56%, quality improvement - by 98%. In light industry, the market was whitewashed by 33% and the number of goods with genuine documents increased by 62%. The perfume market was whitewashed by 37%, and the quality of goods increased by 94%. It is also reported that in the tobacco market, whitewashing has reached 11%.

The CRPT emphasized that these marking systems "Honest Sign" are an objective justification for the prosecutor's office to issue a permit for inspections. The effectiveness of such inspections at the end of 2023 amounted to 89%, added to the Center for the Development of Promising Technologies.^[2]

Pharmaceutical companies in Russia began to transfer data on the origin of raw materials for drugs to a single IT system

At the end of December 2023, an experiment was launched in Russia to trace raw materials and drugs for drugs. The corresponding decree was signed by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. Read more here.

In the Moscow region launched the production of equipment for digital labeling of goods

In November 2023, it became known about the launch in the Moscow region (on the territory of the Esipovo industrial park in the Solnechnogorsk urban district) of the production of marking systems and equipment, including for the Honest Sign system. More than 300 million rubles were invested in this project, implemented by Global Printing Systems with the assistance of the Moscow Region Development Corporation (KRMO). Read more here.

Product authentication appeared on the Public services

At the end of August 2023, the State Public services had the opportunity to verify the authenticity of goods. The new function was told in the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation. Read more here.

Mandatory transfer of data on retail sales of mineral and drinking water to "Fair Sign"

CRPT reported that from March 1, 2023, information on the retail sale of mineral and drinking water is necessarily transferred to the state system of labeling of goods "Honest Sign." Read more here.

Ability to track the execution of government contracts for the purchase of medicinal products

The Center for the Development of Promising Technologies (CRPT, operator of the state marking system "Honest Sign") has added to the system the ability to track the execution of state contracts for the purchase of medicines. Yegor Zhavoronkov, head of the Pharma department of the CRPT, spoke about this on February 28, 2023.

It is about seeing not the formal implementation of the contract - the conclusion of the supply contract - but the actual shipments of drugs through it. We added traceability to the system by the numbers of the state contract and, if there is a request from the Ministry of Health, what the execution actually looks like, colleagues can see all the real shipments on it. Employees of the Department of Drug Support of the Ministry of Health of Russia, together with the CRPT, are already working on such an analysis, - said Yegor Zhavoronkov.

Egor Zhavoronkov added that another implemented functionality is the analysis of weighted average drug prices, thanks to which Roszdravnadzor can control the availability of pharmaceuticals. According to him, analytics are automatically built no additional information to doctors or personnel when purchasing is not required. In addition, Roszdravnadzor can automatically monitor the real prices of drugs in pharmacies.

As of February 2023, the labeling system can also be used to monitor the timely issuance of preferential drug support that is carried out by authorized bodies in the regions. Thus, all the main business processes of drug provision and monitoring of the availability of drugs of the population as well as the adequacy of the price of the presented products in retail chains are closed, the expert summed up.

In fact, not only doctors, but also ministries are choking on increased document flow. And "Honest Sign" is the tool that largely allows this load on the executive branch to be reduced, - said the head of the commission Denis Protsenko.

If it were not for our colleagues from the CRPT, we would have experienced huge problems with collecting information about the flow of drugs to their movement, nomenclature, prices, civil turnover, and so on, "added Deputy Minister of Health Volodymyr Zelensky.

Start of the exclusion experiment by marking the possibility of selling expired goods

From February 1 to August 1, 2023, an experiment will be held in Russia to introduce a system that excludes the technical possibility of selling expired or illegally introduced dairy, tobacco and nicotine-containing products, water, beer and low-alcohol drinks in stores. Products that are not allowed for sale will be monitored using the state information system for digital marking "Honest Sign." The decree was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The CRPT announced this on February 2, 2023.

{{quote 'The main task of the experiment is to work out a mechanism for exchanging information about labeled products between retail outlets and an information system for monitoring the turnover of goods subject to mandatory labeling. If it passes successfully, then in the near future the purchase of products illegally put into circulation or with an expired expiration date will be blocked by cash registers with the appropriate software, the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers said. }}

{{quote 'The marking system is ready for the pilot project. Even before its start, a similar tool for controlling dairy products has already been introduced on its own initiative by the Magnit retail chain. We see great interest from other companies - the labeling system makes this possible both for large retail chains and for less automated traditional retail, convenience stores. During the pilot project, solutions will be selected that will seamlessly integrate into the existing business processes and internal systems of companies, "said Revaz Yusupov, Deputy General Director of the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies. }}

A technical ban on the sale of expired products will reduce the risks for stores when, due to the human factor, expired goods do not have time to be removed from the shelves and they fall into customers' baskets. Retail chains will take part in a pilot project to debug the process and find solutions that will maintain the speed of customer service, "said Anna Orlova, co-chair of the AKORT Digital Initiatives Committee.

Manufacturers incur reputational costs due to sales of expired products in stores, - said Anastasia Sklyar, Deputy General Director for Development of the Crimean enterprise Yug Milk, - If the buyer bought expired goods, this affects the reputation and manufacturer, although there is no fault of the plant in this. We are interested in the operation of such a mechanism so that stores do not have the technical ability to break through expired or illegal products. Labeling has already shown its effectiveness and cut off some of the unscrupulous competitors who produced counterfeit or low-quality products. Thanks to this, our sales volumes increased by 30%. The development of the system and the introduction of mechanisms for tracking shelf life at cash desks is a natural phenomenon.

{{quote "Providing customers with high-quality goods is the task of stores. If we take the results of inspections of retail chains, then the sale of expired products is annually among the top 3 violations. Our own research, which we conduct, including on the largest chains, shows that every second store, regardless of brand, is always overdue. Why is this happening? The first reason is software that retail chains do not have special equipment or that would automatically detect delays. And human resources are not enough. The second is bad faith. When delay is deliberately left on the shelf so as not to dispose and not lose money. If the government decides to introduce such a system without fail, everyone will only benefit, - said the deputy chairman of the public council at the head Rospotrebnadzor of the consumer protection organization Public Consumer Initiative.

2022

Processing of 1.56 billion electronic documents

The national marking system "Honest Sign" in 2022 processed 1.56 billion electronic documents. This is 40% more than in 2021 (1.12 billion). The CRPT announced this on December 29, 2022.

99.9% documents were processed in accordance with the regulatory deadlines, 95% documents - in less than 1 minute. Delays in processing the remaining 0.1% of cases were due to errors on the company side when submitting information to the system.

The volume of data storage of the system in 2022 was increased from 52 to 68 petabytes.

Part of the marking system is a mobile application for checking goods by consumers - Honest SIGN. It was downloaded by almost 8.5 million people. In 2022, users checked 35 million goods, and for the entire time of the application, they scanned 108 million goods.

Most often, in 2022, users of the mobile application checked:

• dairy products - 12 million scans;
• shoes - 5.5 million;
• water - 3 million;
• medicines - 2.9 million;
• clothing - 2.8 million

Identification of 19.8 million cases of sale of expired dairy products

Since September 1, 2022 to data , 19.8 million cases of sale of expired dairy products have been identified under the Honest Sign labeling system. This was announced on November 17, 2022 by the operator of the National System for Digital Labeling of Goods "Honest Sign."

Violations affected 31,379 units of dairy products, which were sold from 32,350 participants. retail Both inconsistencies in the submission of information about the shelf life of manufacturers and violations in retail sales are detected. All data on violations are available in the participants' personal account. Bona fide market participants are actively working data with to develop technical solutions in order to exclude the sale of such products to consumers.

Thanks to the exchange of data with GIS MT, we can identify and prevent the causes of certain errors in the turnover of goods. Also, these systems allow you to quickly see individual violations throughout the distribution chain and on the ground, stop them, due to which our buyers receive an even higher quality of service, - said AKORT.

Labeling of dairy products in the Russian Federation began on June 1, 2021 in the categories of cheeses and ice cream, from September 1, 2021 it became mandatory for goods with a shelf life of more than 40 days, and from December 1 for products with a shelf life of 40 days or less. From September 1, 2022, it became mandatory to transfer information about the retail sale of all labeled dairy products to Honest Sign.

Opening Ozon Merchandise Section with "Fair Sign"

Ozon and the Center for the Development of Promising Technologies, the operator of the national digital marking system "Honest Sign," have opened a section with labeled goods on the marketplace, which guarantees their legality. This was announced on November 11, 2022 by the CRPT. Read more here.

Integration with EGAIS

In the test loop of the digital marking system, "Honest Sign" is launched integration with the system. UNIFIED STATE AUTOMATED INFORMATION SYSTEM This was CRPT announced on November 2, 2022. Now the participant of the experiment on beer labeling low-alcohol drinks when registering an organization in the Honest Sign system does not need to indicate the places of activity, these data will be automatically loaded into the labeling system from the EGAIS. And the production reports submitted during the experiment to the EGAIS, applications for recording information about the import or movement of beer and low-alcohol products containing codes will identifications automatically come from the EGAIS to the labeling system.

The integration of the EGAIS and Honest Sign systems is designed to quickly increase the transparency of the market for beer, beer drinks, cider, poire and mead, as well as reduce the number of unscrupulous market participants, the Rosalkogolregulirovanie noted.

At the beginning of November 2022, the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies (CRPT) and Rosalkogolregulirovanie (RAR) continue to integrate systems in order to expand the ability to exchange data between systems.

The integration of labeling and EGAIS is one of the key tasks of the experiment on the labeling of beer and low-alcohol drinks. The joint work of the two systems will allow, without attracting budget funds, to form a single-item accounting system for beer, "said Yana Nizamidi, head of the Beer commodity group of the CRPT.

As part of testing the integration of the labeling system and EGAIS, information was exchanged about the participants in the beer turnover, about the products produced, as well as the transfer of information about the labeling codes released and applied during the experiment, information about the turnover based on real production data.

The experiment on the labeling of beer, beer-based drinks and certain types of low-alcohol drinks will last until February 28, 2023. In order to reduce the burden on the industry and taking into account seasonal activities, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia agreed with beer producers that mandatory labeling will be launched in several stages: from April 1, 2023, the start of beer labeling in kegs, from October 1, 2023 - in glass and PET containers, from January 15, 2024 - in aluminum cans. As of November 2, 2022, 317 participants take part in the experiment, including 187 manufacturers, 25 importers, 93 wholesale and retail organizations, 12 hotel and restaurant companies. In addition, 319 technology companies joined the experiment - 150 system integrators of production, 37 integrators in the retail segment and HoReCa, 37 customs warehouse and logistics center, as well as 101 printing houses.

Ability to obtain machine-readable power of attorney

Users of the Honest Sign marking system can obtain a machine-readable power of attorney (MCD) and log in with it. This CRPT reported on October 25, 2022. To issue the MFD, you need to log in to the Honest Sign personal account, load the certificate of qualified electronic signature (KEP) of an individual who is given the authority to perform actions in the marking system on behalf of the principal. The MCD is then electronically signed by the director or PI. After that, the employee on whom the MFD is drawn up will be able to work in the marking system on behalf of the company in accordance with his authority.

A machine-readable power of attorney is an analogue of a paper power of attorney that gives an employee the right to sign electronic documents on behalf of the organization. The main advantages of using the MFD are the absence of the need to provide paper power of attorney to counterparties. The task of the MFD is to confirm the authority of an individual who draws up and sends official documents on behalf of the EDO company.

Initially Russia , it was planned to switch to mandatory machine-readable powers of attorney from January 1, 2023, but government extended the transitional period for using the qualified electronic signature of employees of individual entrepreneurs legal and persons without their use by 9 months until September 1, 2023. But already in October 2022, some sites allow entrepreneurs and legal entities to use the MFD. For example, reporting under the new rules is accepted by services and. FTS SOCIAL INSURANCE FUND

As of October 2022, the system is used by a large number of small businesses, which are important for the presence of this functionality. Therefore, despite the fact that the government has shifted the deadlines for mandatory implementation, the CRPT launched the possibility of issuing the MFD and authorization with its help even earlier than the initially established regulatory deadlines. We always strive to offer the business everything necessary for convenient work and the transition to a fully electronic document flow, which eliminates the need to send documents with a courier. It was for this purpose that we participated in the pilot of the Federal Tax Service for the implementation of the MFD from October 1, 2021, - said Alisher Khodzhaev, an expert on EDO of the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies.

In order for employees to be able to use the individual's CEP to sign the organization's documents, the manager must draw up an MCD and sign it with his CEP. If the MCD becomes irrelevant before the expiration date for which it was issued, the manager or individual entrepreneur may withdraw the MCD at any convenient time. In 2023, machine-readable power of attorney will become mandatory for signing electronic documents.

As of October 2022, 870 thousand participants were registered in the Honest Sign labeling system.

Compliance of "Docrobot.Labeling" with quality standards for data exchange with "Honest Sign"

Provision of data access to the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation

On August 22, 2022, the CRPT announced that the Russian Ministry of Health will use information from the Honest Sign National System for Digital Labeling of Goods as part of the drug registration and examination procedure. The examination of drugs before release into civil circulation is carried out by the Scientific Center for the Examination of Medical Products of the Ministry of Health of Russia (NCESMP), it is also responsible for serial control of immunobiological drugs with the issuance of a protocol and conclusions on the compliance of drugs with the requirements.

Detection of violations in the perfume industry for 636 million rubles

The operator of the Honest Sign labeling system on August 22, 2022 shared the results of a study of data on violations in the sale of perfume products in July. According to the system, companies selling perfume products committed 435 thousand violations, and the cost of such goods is equivalent to 636 million rubles. If the control and supervisory authorities decide to impose minimum sanctions on sellers of these products, the amount of penalties may amount to about 435 million rubles.

According to analysts of the CRPT, the system automatically fixes several signs by which you can understand that there is an attempt to sell illegal or low-quality goods.

These may be products of unknown origin, invalid or incorrectly executed permits, violations identified during the sale of goods, as well as a number of other deviations from the current rules and mandatory requirements, - said Anton Gushchansky, director of control (supervisory) activities of the CRPT. - The system records attempts to put such goods into circulation in automatic mode, and data on violators immediately go to the control and supervisory authorities.

Also, "Honest Sign" began to record another category of violations - "turnover of goods in an inappropriate status." This means that data on the production, import or shipment of products to the first buyer were not entered into the MT GIS. If, despite this, a transaction with such a product is carried out, this is a violation of the labeling rules.

Due to the fact that the system now sees this category of violations, control and supervisory authorities will be able to carry out better monitoring of the turnover of goods, and this marker will allow conscientious entrepreneurs to effectively build work with the turnover of goods and avoid additional inspections by regulatory authorities, - said Anton Gushchansky.

Most violations in July were recorded in the Krasnodar Territory (141 thousand), the Moscow Region (119 thousand), Moscow (78 thousand), the Perm Territory (7.7 thousand) and the Ivanovo Region (7.5 thousand).

The CRPT reported that data on deviations are transferred to Rospotrebnadzor, the Federal Customs Service of Russia and the Federal Tax Service of Russia. The CRPT also works directly with violators who have identified deviations to eliminate similar situations in the future.

The Honest Sign operator launched a pilot project to proactively inform businesses about deviations detected in the marking system. In the course of this work, entrepreneurs are provided with data on all violations identified by them, attempts to sell goods that raise doubts about quality. Such work, according to Gushchansky, allows business to independently eliminate problems.

Data Access Plan for Regional Authorities

On August 19, 2022, the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies announced that it plans to transfer data on product turnover from the National System for Marking and Tracing Goods "Honest Sign" to regional authorities.

We are in a pilot project with the city of Moscow. For August 2022, we agree on the information that the Department of Trade and Services will receive. As soon as the pilot project is completed, we will be able to expand it to all regional authorities, said Anton Gushchansky, director of control and supervisory activities of the CRPT.

Anton Gushchansky also noted that the labeling system acts as a guarantor of the provision of up-to-date data both for the state and for business. More attention is paid to working with the provision of information to regional authorities.

In terms of regions, these are data on inventories of various commodity groups, up to specific SKUs, on retail sales and on monitoring prices for goods. We monitor not only the fact of who bought the goods and how much, but also the cash register in the context of each outlet, and provide information on how the price changes dynamically, at what stage the mark-up occurs, said Anton Gushchansky.

In addition to working with the provision of data to regional authorities, in 2022, the CRPT launched a project to provide information to manufacturers and importers. They relate to the movement of goods, their places of sale, average price and turnover.

The information that importing manufacturers receive without restrictions in the personal account of Honest Sign allows them to manage production taking into account real data on the consumption of goods, optimize inventory in warehouses, improve commodity chains, choose the most optimal ways deliveries of their goods, analyze demand and increase the efficiency marketing of stocks. added the director for control and supervisory activities of the CRPT.

Also, within the framework of the pilot project, turnover participants can receive information about violations that are recorded in the National Marking System "Honest Sign." According to Anton Gushchansky, this will allow carrying out measures to debug business processes, change unscrupulous suppliers who are trying to sell low-quality products, deceiving their counterparties, and ensure food security.

CRPT is ready to begin labeling antiseptics from April 1, 2023

The national system of digital labeling of goods "Honest Sign" will be fully ready for the start of labeling antiseptics in accordance with the deadlines proposed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia. The CRPT company announced this on August 17, 2022.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has published on the Official Portal of draft regulatory legal acts a draft government decree, according to which digital labeling of antiseptics can begin on April 1, 2023. The period of mandatory registration of participants in the turnover of these categories will begin on March 1, 2023, and the withdrawal of such goods from circulation through cash desks will become mandatory from September 1, 2023. The document is available at the link.

The inclusion of antiseptics in the list of goods subject to digital labeling in experimental mode took place at the initiative of business and was supported by all members of the state commission to counter the illegal trafficking of industrial products.

For August 2022, a voluntary experiment on the labeling of antiseptics is being held in Russia. More than 140 companies participate in it, of which 108 are manufacturers and 33 are importers. More than 3,000 companies registered in the experiment system: more than 2,500 retail representatives, 95 manufacturers and 130 importers. During the pilot project, the application of marking codes on the most popular types of packaging - tubes and vials ranging from 50 milliliters to 5 liters was tested. Various marking methods have been tested: sticker, direct application on the production line and printing codes in printing houses.

According to the Higher School of Economics, the share of illegal circulation of antiseptics exceeds 50%. Experts are confident that the introduction of digital labeling will reduce the share of counterfeit goods in this market and will lead to an increase in the income of legal manufacturers to 0.7 billion rubles.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has taken up the localization of equipment for digital labeling of goods

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has taken up the localization of equipment for digital labeling of goods, which became known in mid-August 2022. The department began to carry out this work together with the Center for the Development of Promising Technologies (CRPT, operator of the Honest Sign digital marking system).

As Vedomosti writes with reference to the minutes of the meeting in the Ministry of Industry and Trade, for the technological independence of industry from the import of equipment and consumables for labeling, the Ministry of Industry and Trade with the Agency for Technological Development (APR) and the Industrial Development Fund (FRP), with the participation of the Operator-CRPT, must prepare a list of equipment and components by September 1, 2022, the production of which can be localized in Russia.

Start of localization of equipment for digital labeling of goods

In most industries, labeling started relatively recently, so manufacturers are equipped with modern equipment. The next re-equipment cycle will begin in about 3-5 years. By this time, in order to ensure independence from foreign suppliers, the Ministry of Industry and Trade together with the operator plans to localize most of the elements of key equipment and consumables, the CRPT said on July 16, 2022.

Several Russian enterprises expressed their readiness to participate in localization projects, including seven industrial consortia, as well as technical universities. Some of them are developing and have prototypes of equipment.

The Center for the Development of Promising Technologies plans to invest 300 million rubles during 2022-2023 in the development of projects for the localization of labeling equipment. To facilitate the localization process, the CRPT opened its own business accelerator for developers of technical solutions for labeling. Participants who leave an application on the честныйзнак.рф website will receive a set of requirements for new equipment, they will be provided with platforms for testing solutions, financial and consulting support.^[3]

Add the function of finding variances related to the sale of products that have not been entered into sales

The national digital marking system "Honest Sign" is supplemented by the function of finding deviations related to the sale of products that have not been introduced into circulation. The CRPT announced this on June 29, 2022.

Now "Honest Sign" qualifies as a deviation the sale of goods with codes that were received from the CRPT, but the importer or manufacturer did not officially put them into circulation, "said Anton Gushchansky, director of control (supervisory) activities of the CRPT. - That is, the circulation of this product is carried out in violation of the mandatory requirements in terms of labeling.

According to Gushchansky, the introduction of this function of the system will record the actions of unscrupulous market participants. For example, in the tobacco industry, the lack of information about the introduction of goods into circulation may indicate an attempt to underestimate the tax base and avoid paying excise taxes.

{{Quote 'The Honest Sign regularly detects various violations. Some small tobacco factories underestimated their volumes for years, which turned out after the introduction of labeling, - said Maxim Kurgansky, director of protection of legal turnover of CRPT products. - After the introduction of mandatory labeling of tobacco products in many medium and small factories, production volumes increased sharply. }}

The CRPT noted that unscrupulous manufacturers could order the issue of the code, actually apply it to a pack of cigarettes, but not issue the sale of such products through electronic document management. Such manipulation made it possible to supply labeled products to the market, underestimating in the reporting data on shipment from the manufacturer, on the basis of which the excise tax is calculated.

This function of the "Fair Sign" to control the goods that have not been entered into circulation, which "surfaced" in the market, allows you to identify this scheme. After all, the Federal Tax Service of Russia compares the filed excise declarations from companies with the data of the labeling system, - said Anton Gushchansky.

This is another step towards improving market transparency and consumer safety, "he said.

Digital labeling of tobacco sticks will begin in Russia from March 1, 2022

The Russian government has included tobacco products intended for consumption by heating, as well as mixtures for hookahs that do not contain tobacco, in the Honest Sign digital labeling system. This became known on February 25, 2022. It will begin on March 1, 2022. The corresponding decree was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The document is published on the official Internet portal of legal information.

As always, before the introduction, the digital labeling system was tested in the category of tobacco sticks and tobacco-free mixtures for hookahs in an experimental mode. It is worth noting the high level of responsibility and organization shown by business during the experiment. Thanks to the operational work of manufacturers and involvement in the retail and wholesale process, it was possible to start saturating the market with labeled products last year. As of February 2022, sticks and mixtures protected by Honest Sign are already on the market, "said Andrey Zheleznov, head of the Tabak commodity group.

Also, the text of the document states that the mandatory disposal of sticks and mixtures from circulation through cash desks comes into force on March 15, 2022, and from October 1, 2023, the circulation of unmarked products is prohibited.

{{quote 'Retail and manufacturers are fully ready to comply with the requirements of the decree, since since 2019 they have been successfully working with cigarette labeling. The timing will not cause any difficulties, - said Andrei Zheleznov. }}

Tobacco labeling is consistently introduced in Russia to reduce illegal circulation. It is already subject to cigarettes, alternative tobacco products. An experiment is also underway to label e-cigarettes and liquids for them. Thus, the labeling system in mandatory or pilot mode already includes all nicotine-containing products presented on the Russian market^[4] on^[5].

Implementation of typeface in mobile application for people with dyslexia

On May 4, 2021, the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies announced the development of a font for people with dyslexia and introduced it into the Honest Sign mobile application.

According to the Association of Parents and Children with Dyslexia, 15-20% of people in Russia experience learning difficulties, and dyslexia is the most common cause of this. Now in the "Honest Sign" users with this feature can customize the application for themselves. The font includes not only the basic letters of the Russian alphabet, but also special characters, punctuation marks.

The CRPT team began work on the project in August 2020, typeface specialists and organizations engaged in the study of this feature participated in the development. During the preparation, more than 100 interviews were conducted with people with dyslexia.

{{quote 'author = said Deputy General Director of the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies Revaz Yusupov. |

The Honest SIGN application allows you to scan the marking code on the product and receive all information about it. We were approached by users who reported that they were experiencing a problem in the perception of data reflected in regular font. We began to understand the issue and learned that almost every fifth person on the planet experiences similar difficulties. For the consumer when making a purchase, this is important - they may have intolerance to the product. The Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies decided to help such consumers and introduce a special font into the Honest SIGN application. In the process of studying the problems, it became clear that the eye of each person with dyslexia is unique, and the typical solution is not suitable for everyone. Then, together with specialists and experts, we expanded the functionality of the font and added to it the ability to change individual elements: the thickness of the characters, the distance between them and others. The tests showed good results - the flexible mode made it possible to achieve a high level of information perception,}}

The Honest SIGN app is available on the App Store and Google Play. As of May 2021, it was downloaded more than 2.9 million times, users checked over 40 million goods

Calculator of technical solutions for choosing the best ways to connect to the "Honest Sign"

On April 21, 2021, the Center for the Development of Promising Technologies announced the development of a calculator of technical solutions for choosing the optimal ways to connect enterprises producing dairy products to the Honest Sign labeling system. The service is available on the Honest Sign website.

"We analyzed the entire volume of data on labeling dairy products, requests from industry enterprises and authorities, proposals from integrators and equipment manufacturers, as well as printing houses, and prepared a calculator of technical solutions on the website of the Honest Sign system. It allows, depending on the size of the enterprise, the preferred method of applying codes and the type of aggregation, to obtain a list of the necessary equipment and software, familiarize yourself with the proposals of integrators and printing houses and choose from them the least expensive in terms of investments. It is important to note that the CRPT does not act as an intermediary and beneficiary for the listed solutions. All commercial relationships between solution providers and turnover participants go directly, without our participation. In total, 12,891 companies joined the dairy labeling system, of which 1,772 were manufacturers. They ordered 253 million marking codes from Honest Sign, "said Revaz Yusupov, Deputy General Director of the CRPT.

Labeling of dairy products in Russia voluntarily began on January 20, 2021. From this day, any company can move on to full-scale labeling of all its products. Before the introduction of the obligation, the Honest Sign operator will issue marking codes free of charge, which is designed to encourage the advance preparation of turnover participants. Labeling is introduced in stages and from June 1, 2021 will become mandatory for cheeses and ice cream.

Tire market participants were obliged to enter data into the system

Organizations that purchase tires in bulk from manufacturers and importers, as well as other wholesale enterprises and turnover participants engaged in retail sales of tires, from March 1, 2021 begin to enter information on all actions on the turnover of goods into the Honest SIGN system.

Transfer of information on 4.3 million certificates and declarations from Rosaccreditation

On January 19, 2021, Rosaccreditation announced that it had transferred information on 4.3 million certificates and declarations to the national labeling system. Of these, about 3 million declarations and 1.3 million certificates. In turn, the registers of the national accreditation body are enriched with information about goods from the GIS MT.

The Russians had the opportunity immediately before buying the goods to check through the Honest Sign mobile application whether the products were tested for compliance with safety requirements. Already in January 2021, when scanning a QR code with an application, you can see whether a certificate or declaration is valid for the product. Until the end of the first quarter of 2021, information on documents confirming the safety check will appear in all goods included in the national labeling system.

Information from the electronic registers of the Federal Accreditation Agency on certificates of conformity issued for goods and declarations of conformity began to be received by the State Information System for Monitoring the Turnover of Goods Subject to Mandatory Labeling by Means of Identification (GIS MT). Information exchange is built through an interdepartmental electronic interaction system.

The inclusion of data from the registers of Rosaccreditation in the national catalog of labeled goods helps to strengthen trust between business, the state and society, and improve the quality of life of people. Manufacturers and suppliers are able to position their products as having passed safety tests. Storing information in a single catalog will also allow businesses to reduce the cost of maintaining disparate databases, "said Nazariy Skrypnik, head of Rosaccreditation.

Now manufacturers and suppliers, when entering information about marked goods in the catalog of GIS MT goods, can choose a certificate or declaration of compliance with the goods with the established safety requirements from the Federal State Institution of Accreditation. For two months of mutual information exchange, data on permits have already been added to 9.6 thousand cards of goods.

There are already 7.1 million cards in the catalog of labeled goods, the largest group is shoes. The main thing is that users receive reliable information, including about certification, which means the quality of products. After accumulating data, the buyer will be able to check information about permits for a specific product right in the Honest Sign application, - said Revaz Yusupov, Deputy General Director of the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies.

The number of downloads exceeded 2 million

The number of downloads of the Honest SIGN application has exceeded 2 million, and 26 million codes verified by users. This was announced on January 15, 2021 by the CRPT.

The Honest Sign application is part of the ecosystem of public control. It's free. Available on iOS and Android. It is used to check the legality of goods and obtain additional information on marking codes. In addition, in the application, after scanning barcodes, you can view the product card in the National Catalog, find out the decryption of the icons or receive an electronic copy of the fiscal check. The whole story is stored in the appendix. This is useful, for example, for restoring the purchase history when returning an item.

As expected, the labeling of the light industry started well. In December 2020, users increased the number of checks by almost 5 times, and in the first post-holiday week - by another 40%. Total - 630 thousand inspections as of January 6, 2021. The constant hit of the application is shoes with 400 thousand checks per week. And from December 9 to 16 - 650 thousand checks. In the same week, the number of scans in Honest Sign exceeded a million. So the demand for public control is high, "says Denis Politov, head of the product at the CRPT.

Winter also made adjustments: in November and December 2020, fur coat checks increased - 100 thousand per month, in total, users checked more than 1.6 million fur products. Since October 2020, when the increased demand for drugs was recorded, the number of inspections of drugs and vaccines has grown 2 times - up to 1.24 million. Shoe scans - almost 14 million, tobacco - 2.2 million, tires - 347 thousand, perfume - 170 thousand.

Ability to check packaged water in the "Fair Sign" application

On December 17, 2020, the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies announced that the Honest Sign application can now check bottled water. It is enough to scan the DataMatrix code and instantly find out the data about a specific bottle of water.

As of December 17, the functionality is still informational in nature - after all, an experiment is still being carried out on water labeling. It started on April 1, 2020 and will last until March 1, 2021.

"More than a hundred water producers have already been registered in the system, and in total - 1400 participants in the turnover. And a number of companies are already preparing to put labeled water on sale, so it will be easy for buyers to be convinced of the legality of its origin and the availability of all permits, "says Kirill Volkov, head of the Voda commodity group of the CRPT.

The Honest Sign application is part of the ecosystem of public control. It's free. Available on iOS and Android, downloaded almost 1.9 million times. Users checked 22.6 million goods, including 12.3 million - shoes, more than 2 million - cigarettes, 1 million - medicines.

Creation of a unified register of goods - National Catalog

In early November 2020, it became known about the creation of a unified register of goods in Russia. Consumers will be able to receive data about them in the Honest Sign application by barcode.

The ability to receive gifts for authenticating goods in the "Honest Sign" application on VKontakte

In the application for authentication of goods "Honest Sign" it became possible to exchange points for scanning shoe marking codes for gifts from partners. Users can get discounts from the stores "L'Etoile," "Daughters-Sons," Butik, Sunlight, "Gloria Jeans" and others, reported on August 25, 2020 in the "Operator-CRPT."

Points are awarded for various actions: for example, achieving a certain number of scans, inviting friends to the application, a high position in the ranking in terms of the number of scans, and so on. The game mechanics of the social network turn the process of checking goods into a game, while allowing users to receive a reward.

So far, in the mini-version of "Honest Sign Vkontakte" you can scan only shoe marking codes, which allow you to find out the entire "lowland" product, including the country of production, the composition of materials, and so on. In the future, the widget will allow you to check the codes on all labeled products.

Users of the mini-application can check goods while remaining inside the social network, without additional authorization in the "Honest Sign." In addition, the widget saves the phone's memory, as it does not need to be downloaded. You can find it in the widget directory in the Tools category: to do this, open the Services tab and go to the directory through the widget of the widgets.

The VK Mini Apps platform is one of the VKontakte products. During the period of self-isolation, a record was broken for a monthly audience of mini-applications - 36 million people. As of August 2020, there are more than 20 thousand active mini-applications on the platform: you can order food or call a taxi, make purchases, attend an online concert and much more.

The main Honest Sign application, available on iOS and Android, has been downloaded more than 225,000 times since early July, when mandatory labeling of shoes, medicines and full traceability of cigarettes were launched. Over the month, users scanned 3 million codes, of which more than 1.8 million were shoes. By the end of July, the number of scans exceeded 10.6 million, and the total number of downloads of the application - 1.3 million.

The Honest Sign application is part of the national labeling system of the same name, which covers several groups of goods, including fur products, tobacco, medicines and shoes, and in the future will apply to perfumes, tires, photo products, light industry products, dairy products and bottled water.

Availability of the Fair Sign Product Authentication App on Mini Apps

Mini Apps social network Vkontakte An application for authenticating goods "Honest Sign" appeared on the platform. With its help, you can check the origin of the shoe and its authenticity. This was announced on July 23, 2020. CRPT

The HONEST SIGN app is part of the national labelling system of the same name, which covers several product groups, including fur products, tobacco, medicines and footwear, and will extend to perfumes, tires, photo products, light industry products, dairy products and bottled water in the future.

Unlike the full version of the Honest Sign application, available in iOS and Android, in the mini version on VKontakte you can scan only shoe marking codes that allow you to find out the entire "ins and outs" of the product, including the country of production, the composition of materials, etc. In the future, the widget will allow you to check the codes on all labeled products.

Honest Sign on VKontakte implements a number of mechanics based on gamification, for example, users receive points for each scan, thanks to which they compete in the TOP rating. Also, users can receive awards for various actions, for example, achieving a certain number of scans, inviting friends to the application, being in high positions in the TOP rating. Certain awards make it possible to receive an additional number of bonuses for each scan and rise in the ranking, - said the head of the product Yevgeny Matveev.

According to him, a loyalty program will appear in the mini-application in the future, which will allow you to exchange points for scans for prizes, gifts and discounts from partners.

Users of the mini-application can check goods while remaining inside the social network, without additional authorization in Honest Sign. In addition, the widget saves the phone's memory, as it does not need to be downloaded.

Setting up roaming between Honest Sign EDM and DiState EDM

In early July 2020, the operator of the Honest Sign marking system launched a roaming exchange with electronic document management operators as part of its free EDO Light service. DiState announced this on August 6, 2020.

The service operates within the framework of the personal account of the Honest Sign participant and now another roaming EDO operator is available to its users for exchanging documents - DiState. EDM systems based on DiState solutions send data on the movement of labeled goods to the monitoring system. Customers of the EDO DiState operator can exchange APD and UKD on marked goods with counterparties from the EDO Light system.

Since EDO Light is designed primarily for small businesses, we understand the importance of choosing EDO systems with which they can exchange documents for free. Large retailers and manufacturers can afford any EDO operator, small entrepreneurs do not have such an opportunity. And the service of free EDO with configured roaming is a real way out for them. Among our customers, companies from different fields that work with counterparties of different scales, so as not to create additional barriers, we actively configure roaming interaction with other EDO operators and try to make document management as accessible and convenient as possible for everyone.

Users of EDO Light can exchange documents on marked goods with participants in the EDO systems of the DiState operator. The latter can receive and send such documents to EDO Light directly from their personal account without billing. Before starting document management, counterparties need to exchange their identification numbers in the systems.

DiState recalled that according to the plans of the Ministry of Industry and Trade by 2024, labeling of goods will affect all consumer products: from tires and tires to baby food and toys. All turnover participants must send information about marking codes and goods to the monitoring system manually or in the form of electronic APD.

The number of downloads of the Honest Sign application has exceeded a million

The Honest Sign application has already been downloaded 1 million times - users use it to check the legality of goods by scanning codes from packages, and also complain about labeling violations. The CRPT announced this on July 22, 2020.

If we talk about the numbers, then by the end of 2019 the application was installed about 200 thousand times, and the remaining 800 thousand were collected in six months of 2020. From month to month, the dynamics of installations is growing, - says the head of the product Yevgeny Matveev.

Users scanned about 10 million codes. Moreover, 5 million - from shoes. Its labeling became mandatory from July 1, 2020. By the shoe code, you can find out not only the manufacturer, but also the country of manufacture, the composition of the materials, and so on.

Another popular product is fur products, they were checked more than 1.12 million times, but literally in the last week the fur coats overtook tobacco: the codes from cigarettes were scanned more than 1.13 million times. Over the past week, the codes from cigarettes have been checked more than 177 thousand times. This is due to the fact that from July 1, the sale of unmarked cigarettes is prohibited.

Cards of the National Catalog are still popular: there is complete information about the product - up to the photo. Users got acquainted with them almost 2.4 million times.

The application also scans fiscal checks (156 thousand times) and gives information about purchases in a particular store. This is convenient for those who count their expenses or want to remember where they bought the product they liked or did not like - scanned checks are stored in the user's history. So keep paper checks and then do not look.

Checking more than a million marking codes in a week

A week after the start of mandatory labeling of drugs, shoes and tobacco products, users of the Honest Sign application broke the record for code scans on goods - more than 1 million. For comparison, 765 thousand codes were scanned a week before. This was announced on July 10, 2020 by the CRPT.

Shoes are a leader. A total of 4,370,060 codes were scanned, and for the week of July 1-7 - 768 thousand.

Since July 1, labeling of shoes, cigarettes and medicines has become mandatory - this factor has become one of the components of success. Another is our action with a prize pool of half a million rubles. For completing tasks, the most active will receive a reward. There is a chance to receive a prize until July 31. At the same time, the pace of scans is growing, on July 9 it exceeded 9 million. I will add an amazing fact: despite the height of summer, in a week users checked almost 9,000 codes with fur coats, "said Evgeny Matveev, head of the Honest Sign mobile application.

In second place for verification in the application is the data of the National Catalog, where you can see the detailed specifications of goods. For the week of July 1-7, the cards in the catalog were viewed more than 178 thousand times, and in total - more than 2 million.

Users scanning codes from tobacco have become sharply active. If in the week from July 1 to July 7 they were scanned about 61.7 thousand times, then in the next two days - 243 thousand. In total, users checked more than 1.1 million tobacco codes.

Medicines are only gaining momentum: in a week they were checked 12 thousand times, and in total - about 73 thousand.

In total, the application was downloaded about 900 thousand times. They can scan DataMatrix codes (they show the legality of the product), a barcode, a code from a check issued in the store, as well as symbols from tags and packages. Thus, when scanning Data Matrix codes on medicines, the application shows the following data: manufacturer, name, batch, shelf life, packaging package. For cigarettes - name, date of production, maximum retail price. For footwear - name, article, manufacturer, country of production, materials of the top, bottom, gaskets, color, size.

Statistics on the verification by users of the "Honest Sign" application of more than 6 million products

On June 11, 2020, it became known that almost 700 thousand users have already used the Honest SIGN product authentication application, which scanned over 6 million product codes.

The free Honest Sign application is part of the national product labeling system, which from July 1 is mandatory for all medicines, shoes and cigarettes on the Russian market, and will later apply to perfumes, light industry products, drinks and dairy products as the most counterfeit goods.

With the help of the application, you can scan unique digital Data Matrix codes on the package, which, like a passport, contain all information about the product: where it is made, from what materials it is made, whether it is legally put into circulation.

Now, using the Data Matrix code, you can already check cigarettes, fur and shoes - these goods have long been labeled and are on sale in huge quantities.

The leader in the number of code scans was shoes. Users of the application checked more than 2.7 million footwear items. In second place are fur products, which have been marked since 2016. More than 1 million fur coats were scanned by users using the Honest Sign. In third place is tobacco products with 740 thousand codes.

The number of downloads of the application, which is available on iOS and Android, approached 700 thousand.

What else can you do with the application

The application, in addition to marking codes, is able to decipher any conventions on the package: how to take care of products, use and dispose of what a particular certificate means. This option allows you to understand all incomprehensible designations, for example, on clothing care tags.

"Honest SIGN" "recognizes" and barcodes that give general information about the product: composition, dimensions, image of the product, storage conditions and everything that the manufacturer usually indicates on the label in small print. The barcode can be decrypted even on items that are not subject to mandatory labeling.

If the item information is not in the application

If the product is not found in the application by the barcode, it means that the product is not included in the national catalog - a standardized database of all goods on the Russian market, where each product has its own profile.

But if the Data Matrix code is not found on the product, whose product category must be marked, this means that the product is sold with violations, and they can be reported directly in the application. The timing of mandatory labeling can be checked on the website честныйзнак.рф.

Synerdocs received the status of an official partner of the CRPT

On March 31, 2020, Directum (Directive) announced the replenishment of the list of the main electronic document management (EDO) operators supporting digital labeling. Synerdocs received the status of an official partner of the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies (CRPT).

Signing a resolution on the procedure for accessing the data of the "Honest Sign" product monitoring and tracing system

On January 9, 2020, it became known that on December 31, 2019, a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1955 was signed on the procedure for accessing the data of the Honest Sign monitoring and tracking system of goods.

Access to data from the system enables participants in the turnover of goods to increase the efficiency of the distribution chain and opens the era of development of both large companies and small and medium-sized businesses, the CRPT notes.

The marking system generates data on billions of goods from production to sale. Information on the movement of goods will allow manufacturers to increase distribution efficiency several times and, as a result, increase profits. Thus, investments in preparation for labeling, which, thanks to the efforts of the CRPT and project partners, are in most cases insignificant, will be fully returned and in the future will begin to bring additional profits to legal companies. noted Chairman of the Board of Directors of the CRPT Mikhail Dubin

The resolution establishes the rights and obligations of the information system operator to ensure access to data, as well as the composition of data that should be available to certain participants in the circulation of goods. In accordance with the published decree from the labeling system, the manufacturer will be able to find out the current owner of the product and its quantity.

Previously, this information was not available to manufacturers in "one window," individual information could only be collected from disparate sources. Due to the disparity and differences in methods, the results were not always accurate and complex analytical systems had to be used to combine the results of several research tools. The appearance of access to guaranteed accurate data of the labeling system, which traces each unit of goods at each moment in time, creates growth points for participants in the turnover. Business, receiving online data on the movement of products, will be able to optimally plan production, reduce stocks and increase product turnover, improve marketing and other business processes^[6].

ВЭБ.РФ and Gazprombank will spend 24.2 billion rubles on the creation of a product labeling system

In December 2019, it became known that ВЭБ.РФ and Gazprombank, within the framework of the Project Financing Factory, will provide loans in the amount of up to 24.2 billion rubles to create a system for marking and traceability of Honest Sign goods.

Under the terms of the agreement, ВЭБ.РФ will issue a syndicated loan in the amount of up to 8.7 billion rubles, Gazprombank - up to 15.5 billion rubles.

It became known that ВЭБ.РФ and Gazprombank, within the framework of the Project Financing Factory, will provide loans in the amount of up to 24.2 billion rubles to create a system for marking and traceability of goods "Honest Sign"

At the same time, the shareholders of Operator-CRPT (a subsidiary of the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies) invest more than 220 billion rubles in the creation and development of the system over 15 years. It is expected that the return on investment will come no earlier than 7 years.

According to the initiators of the project, it will allow the state to achieve its goals to combat the shadow economy and illegal circulation in the absence of budget expenditures. The project will significantly reduce sales of counterfeit goods, says Alexey Belous, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Gazprombank.

This is an important, system-forming project for the transparent functioning of commodity markets. Its implementation will make it possible to form equal and fair rules for the turnover of products. Consumers will receive reliable protection of their rights and confidence in the "white" origin of the purchased goods, - said Nikolai Tsekhomsky, First Deputy Chairman of ВЭБ.РФ, Board Member.

According to Mikhail Dubin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies, by December 2019, more than 6 billion codes of cigarettes, medicines, fur products and shoes are traced in the digital labeling system.

Dubin believes that participation in the ВЭБ.РФ and Gazprombank project will increase the operator's financial flexibility within 18 months and create prerequisites for the accelerated introduction of new product groups, including finished dairy products.^[7]

Drug Authentication App Release

On November 29, 2019, the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies (CRPT) presented a free application for smartphones "Honest Sign," which allows you to verify the authenticity of goods, including drugs.

The application reads the Data Matrix digital marking code applied to the packaging by manufacturers and gives the result of the check. If the information about the code is contained in the system, then the buyer will be able to see the current status of the drug and verify its authenticity. If a violation is detected, when the code is not found in the system, it will be possible to report this through a special form without leaving the application, which is very convenient.

{{quote 'author = said Director for Development of the PHARMA direction of the CRPT Marat Sakaev' The main task of Honest Sign is to ensure the authenticity of products, including medicines, for consumers. The application has already been downloaded by 120 thousand people, more than 1.2 million codes have been scanned. Drugs with labeling can be massively seen in pharmacies already in 2020 and fully tested the application, }}

The patient community positively assessed the emergence of an application that provides the ability to independently verify the authenticity of the drug and contributes to the fact that public control is becoming more effective and ubiquitous. told co-chairman of the All-Russian Union of Patients Yuri Zhulev

Integration with SAP ATTR

On August 15, 2019, the company SAP announced the localization of the solution for integration with the Honest SIGN system for all product categories to be labeled:,, drugs dairy products shoes, tires, etc. The solution will allow companies to maintain their database of product serial numbers, collect information throughout, from supply chains the participant of the turnover to the final distributor, and transfer to data. state marking management systems Localization is based on the solution (SAP ATTR Advanced Track & Trace for Pharmaceutical) in accordance with the current requirements Russian of the legislation.

Integration with "OFD.RU: Client's Personal Account"

On August 6, 2019, OFD.ru announced that it had implemented the possibility of registering the Client in the Honest SIGN marking system directly in the Client's Personal Account (LCC) OFD.ru. Previously, this required signing an additional agreement with OFD.ru on paper - it recorded the user's permission to transfer marking codes to the Honest Sign system (CRPT). Then it was necessary to register on the website of this system. Read more here.

How the marking system works

As of August 2019, the Honest Sign is not only a system for marking and tracking goods at the enterprise level, but also a tool for public control. The application of the same name can already be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play and using a smartphone read the marking code from a specific product and get all the necessary information on it. If counterfeit is found, information is transmitted to regulatory authorities.

For product labeling, special control identification marks (PPE) are used: two-dimensional Data Matrix code or QR code. The codes used for marking include:

• Identification code that determines the item of the item in the system and the single catalog of items
• verification code (crypto-tail) generated by the CRPT.

The codes are issued for free, once, they are encrypted, and they cannot be forged. In addition to Data Matrix or QR codes, RFID tags are allowed. Ordinary barcodes within the framework of innovations are not convenient to use, since they are easy to fake, if damaged, they are not read by scanners and contain a minimum amount of information.

In order for the company to work with Data Matrix or QR codes, it will need a barcode scanner capable of reading 2D barcodes and appropriate software that will support information exchange between the company and FGIS. Therefore, for the warehouse logistics market, the issue of warehouse management automation using a modern WMS system is becoming more and more relevant, regardless of the scale and specifics of the business.

Marking of fur products

On March 19, 2019, it became known that in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 14, N270, on June 1, 2019, the information system for marking fur products will be transferred to the unified national system for marking and tracing goods "Honest Sign." The operator of the project, which is implemented in the format of public-private partnership, is the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies ("Operator-CRPT"), the coordinator is the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.

author '= Yusupov Revaz, Deputy General Director of CRPT ' The transition of the system is a logical step towards the formation of a single national labeling system. Tobacco labeling has already been launched in mandatory mode, pilot projects on shoes and medicines are in the active stage. The center has the necessary competencies and capabilities for the further integration of various industries into a single system.

Mandatory labeling of fur products to combat illegal trafficking was introduced in 2016. The operator was the Federal Tax Service of Russia. After the interface transition, the functionality of the personal account of the participants in the experiment, as well as the algorithms for working in it, will not change. All information in the participant's personal account has also been fully preserved^[8]

In 6 years, the Honest Sign system will cover all commodity groups - from cigarettes and medicines to clothing and baby food. It is assumed that the country will operate a unified system for monitoring the authenticity of goods and increasing the transparency of markets. The entire path of the product can be tracked right on the screen, and its smartphone authenticity can be verified online throughout the country. Online cash registers will not allow the sale of a fake.
