Product Builder



As for the possible product customizations, we used the.options-list class to target lists of options among which the user can choose (in our example models and accessories). When the user selects an option, the updateListOptions function takes care of updating the product price (and builder content, if a model has been selected).

What is an FDA product code?

An FDA product code describes a specific product and contains a combination of five to seven numbers and letters. The product code submitted with each FDA line item should match the actual product name and/or invoice description of the product.

If the product has more than one name (e.g., a fish known under several regional names), the product code may have several different synonymous definitions associated with it. The easiest way to determine the product code is to become familiar with the product itself, including the label, the processing information, intended use of product, the container type, who will use or consume the product, etc.

What is the structure of an FDA product code?

The string of letters and numbers represents five components: Industry Code, Class, Subclass, Process Indicator Code (PIC), and the Product (Group).

Industry Class Subclass Process Identification Code (PIC) Product
Number Letter Letter or Hyphen (-)Letter or Hyphen (-)Letter or Number

Industry Code: This element is two numbers from '02' to '98.” An industry code determines the broadest area into which a product falls. Some examples are dental for all dental-related medical devices and fishery/seafood for fish and seafood products.

Class Code: This element is always one letter (a-z) and is directly related to an industry. It designates the food group, source, product, use, pharmacological action, category, or animal species of the product. Class is more specific than an industry code; for example, the fishery/seafood products industry may contain classes such as crustaceans or hot-smoked fish. All products will have a Class Code. Class codes for radiation-emitting products, medical devices and in-vitro diagnostics are linked to the Product (Group) letters, see below.

Subclass Code: This element is one letter (a-z) and represents the container type, method of application, use, market class or material the product is being packaged in. The subclass should specify the primary material which contacts and/or holds the product. Medical devices do not have subclass codes and are represented by a hyphen.

Process Indicator Code (PIC): This element is one letter (a-z) and describes the process, storage or dosage form depending on the type of product. When in doubt, you may wish to contact the manufacturer for processing information. Medical devices, cosmetics, and some animal use products do not have a PIC and are represented by a hyphen.

Product (Group): This element is two characters in length and may contain either letters or numbers. This element relates directly to a particular industry/class combination. This element identifies the specific product. For medical devices, the product (group) element is two letters and when used in conjunction with the class element, identifies a specific medical device.
