    The United States FDA guidance documents and FAQ are very helpful.  Also read the comments and feedback FDA provided during the actual release of the FDA UDI process as there is a lot of information there also about FDA's thinking on how UDI is applied.  Also if you have any specific questions, the UDI Help desk is fair.

    The US FDA also had a webinar on UDI that you might find helpful.
