Navigating CIS Traceability Regulations: VISIOTT | TPS Solutions for Compliance and Efficiency
Across the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), regulatory bodies are intensifying efforts to enforce CIS serialization and traceability systems that secure the supply chain, protect consumers, and bring product standards in line with global benchmarks. For manufacturers, especially those in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and household chemicals, these compliance obligations require not just awareness — but technological readiness.
Countries like Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan have each launched traceability platforms that demand serialization, aggregation, and L4–L5-level reporting. At VISIOTT | TPS, we offer comprehensive, modular solutions that ensure your operations meet the technical and legal requirements of these systems — while maximizing efficiency.

CIS Serialization Regulations: Landscape and Expectations
Russia – Chestny ZNAK by CRPT
Russia’s Chestny ZNAK system is managed by CRPT (Center for Research in Perspective Technologies) and is mandatory for over 20 product groups. It includes
Pharmaceuticals
Dairy Products and Soft Drinks
Tobacco and Alcohol
Perfumes and Cosmetics
Apparel and Footwear
The system mandates DataMatrix serialization, aggregation, and real-time reporting via CRPT’s Level 5 (L5) interface, using encrypted codes.
VISIOTT | TPS delivers crypto-code compatible serialization stations, aggregation systems, and Plant Manager software for seamless integration with Chestny ZNAK.
Kazakhstan – ISMET by Kazakhtelecom
Kazakhstan’s traceability platform, ISMET, is operated by Kazakhtelecom and is expanding its scope from pharmaceuticals to additional categories like:
Tobacco and Alcohol
Dairy Products and Soft Drinks
(Under Pilot)
Packaged Food and Personal Care
(Planned)
ISMET requires unit-level serialization, crypto-code request and activation, and direct L5 reporting. VISIOTT | TPS solutions are fully compatible with ISMET’s API structure, enabling error-free compliance and scalable architecture.
Uzbekistan – ASL BELGISI Digital Marking System
Uzbekistan’s ASL BELGISI system mandates serialization for:
Pharmaceuticals
Alcohol
Tobacco
Modeled similarly to Russia’s Chestny ZNAK, this platform includes secure code generation, aggregation mandates, and real-time digital reporting.
VISIOTT | TPS equips producers and exporters with validated technologies ready for Uzbekistan’s compliance model — including serialization hardware, aggregation management, and L5 data exchange through the Plant Manager.
Challenges for Manufacturers in the CIS
Complying with CIS traceability regulations involves:
- Crypto-code and GS1 serialization
- Aggregation hierarchy and tree management
- Reporting to government platforms (Chestny ZNAK, ISMET, ASL BELGISI)
- Equipment-level and enterprise-level integration (L2 to L5)
- Handling exceptions, rejections, and line efficiency issues
ISS-100 – Carton Serialization Station
The ISS-100 is designed for CIS serialization and serialized printing on pre-folded cartons, widely used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
- High-speed thermal inkjet or laser serialization
- Vision inspection and rejection unit
- Adjustable for various carton sizes and feeding options
- Fully integrable with Plant Manager and compatible with CIS crypto-code structures
FCSS-100 – Flat Carton Serialization Station
The FCSS-100 specializes in CIS serialization of flat cartons before forming, ensuring precise DataMatrix application and clean packaging lines. Designed for pharma, personal care, and contract manufacturers.
- Handles flat cartons with accuracy and high throughput
- Vision system ensures 100% code quality
- Ideal for compliance in high-volume CIS markets
LAS-100 – Label Apply Station
The Label Apply Station supports CIS serialization by applying serialized or traceable labels to secondary packages or primary units like bottles or cartons. Suitable for side/top label application.
- Compatible with tamper-evident or traceability label workflows
- Integrates vision inspection
- CIS-ready for both serialized and regulatory labels
