Guidance document : regulatory requirements for drug identification numbers (DINs).: H164-273/2024E-PDF

"When Health Canada authorizes a drug to be marketed in Canada, a Drug Identification Number (DIN) is issued to the manufacturer and printed on the package labels. A DIN indicates that the evaluation of the drug determined that it met the relevant requirements of the Food and Drugs Act and its Regulations and the drug has a favourable risk/benefit profile. Manufacturers of prescription and non-prescription drugs must obtain a DIN before they are marketed in Canada. Market authorization of a drug may require the additional issuance of a Notice of Compliance (NOC)"--Introduction, page 9.
