Manufactured Product to DIN or NPN Mapping; (FILE NAME; mp_to_din_or npn_mapping_yyyymmdd)

Manufactured products with more granular (specific) representations than what the DINs/NPNs provide are needed in the CCDD to meet clinical use cases. The types of products requiring more granular representation in the CCDD are primarily:
a) liquid injectable products, where several presentations of the product are identified by a single DIN (e.g. different sizes of pre-filled syringes), and
b) products presented in unit dose containers, where more than one amount is identified by a single DIN (e.g. 1 mL and 2 mL unit dose vials of a nebulizer solution).
