Hello,
We are a French manufacturer of medical device in class II.a, and we want to set up a coding system for UDI. The problem is that we cannot choose a standard from among GS1 and HIBC and determine which it is the most suitable for our product.
relative to our turnover:
1) GS1 fees are: € 317 (Membership fees) and € 317 (Annual fee fees).
2) On the other hand for HIBC, the LIC application fees (1000$) are the only financial transaction to be done once and for all, is that normal?
So, will the cost depend on the volume of codes?
Also, there are several manufacturers who have changed their coding system from HIBC to GS1.
What do you think is the better Standard between the two?
Thank you all for your interesting responses !
