What is the Chestny ZNAK System?
Chestny ZNAK, developed by the Russian government, translates to “honest labeling” and is a traceability system aimed at preventing counterfeiting and illegal trade by uniquely identifying each product.
The system requires all products to be labeled with a QR code or Data Matrix code. These codes allow tracking of the product throughout the supply chain. Each code is registered in the Chestny ZNAK database and can be verified by authorities and consumers.
Sectors Covered by Chestny ZNAK
Initially mandatory for specific product categories, Chestny ZNAK has expanded to include the following key sectors:
- Tobacco and cigarettes
- Pharmaceuticals and healthcare
- Footwear and leather goods
- Perfumes and cosmetics
- Consumer electronics and household appliances
- Tires and automotive parts
- Apparel and textiles
- Dairy and dairy products
- Alcohol and alcoholic beverages
How Does the Chestny ZNAK System Work?
The Chestny ZNAK procedure consists of the following key stages:
Registration and Authorization
- Companies must register with the Chestny ZNAK system.
- Authorization processes are completed to allow product registration.
Code Generation
- A unique Data Matrix code is generated for each product in the Chestny ZNAK database.
- These codes are printed on product packaging.
Supply Chain Tracking
- Products are tracked at every stage by scanning their codes.
- Wholesalers, retailers, and logistics companies register and track product movements in the Chestny ZNAK system.
Consumer Verification
- End consumers can scan the QR code with their smartphones to verify the product’s authenticity.
Auditing and Reporting
- Regulatory authorities can use data from the system to detect counterfeiting.
