Libya medical device regulations

Complete forty-page Arabic publication of the 1973 Health Code, preserved by FAOLEX. It provides the general statutory context for therapeutic institutions, pharmaceutical establishments, medical professions and medical apparatus; this is a historical framework source, not an asserted current device-specific registration regulation. OCR replaces a corrupted embedded Arabic text layer. Later amendments and device-specific implementing requirements remain to be verified.

Complete signed and stamped four-page Arabic Decision 379/2023 of the GNU Minister of Economy and Trade, visibly dated 23 July 2023 (5 Muharram 1445), with full preamble, Articles 1–8 and both barcode examples. It applies GS1/DataMatrix identification to pharmaceuticals and medical equipment in Libya. Article 5 specifies GTIN, batch and a unique random serial per equipment item; Article 4 separately specifies pharmaceutical expiry information, which is not added to the equipment article. Article 6 states a six-month implementation deadline from issue and later circulation prohibition for products/equipment without the prescribed barcode. The literal drafting of Article 3 and illustrative digit strings are retained rather than repaired. This Economy and Trade instrument is not issued by the 2025 GAMESD authority. Implementation extensions, exemptions, amendments and applicability in 2026 remain unverified.
