In February, we launched a number of new fields and validation rules in GS1Trade Sync. These updates ensure that product data complies with new legislation and data recipient requirements – and that products can be validated and published without issues.

If your company has products that require action, your data manager has already been contacted.

Collective schemes and Extended Producer Responsibility

Requirements have been introduced to specify which collective scheme or schemes a product is settled through – or if the packaging is exempt.

CLP – stricter requirements from 2028

The data model has been expanded with new fields for cleaning and chemical products, so that information about chemicals, hazard symbols, and safety can be shared correctly for online sales. Initially, warnings are being added – the fields will become mandatory later.

Dietary supplements and dietetic foods

For vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements, as well as diet and meal replacements, it is now mandatory to specify a diet type code. The code activates relevant validation rules and ensures that legally required information is shared correctly.

Shell eggs for consumption

It is now mandatory to specify the farming method, weight class, and quality class using fixed code lists.

Coffee

Five new optional fields make it possible to share more detailed information about, for example, bean type, origin, and roast level.

GS1Trade Sync

GS1Trade Sync is a data pool for product data exchange that your trading partners can access.

GS1Trade Sync streamlines data exchange between trading partners because data only needs to be entered in one place. This increases the quality of product data and creates value for you - and the entire value chain.

GS1Trade Packaging

GS1Trade Packaging is a packaging data system that gathers your packaging data in one place. The system ensures efficient collection, structuring, and declaration of packaging data, and makes it easy to exchange packaging data with other companies.

GS1Trade Exact

GS1Trade Exact ensures the quality of your product data. All physical products are checked against the data registered in GS1Trade Sync.
With this service, you get verified and quality-assured data that benefits the entire supply chain.

GS1Trade Transact

GS1Trade Transact handles the digital receipt of orders and the sending of documents to your customers. You can choose whether to integrate it with your financial system or access it online.

GTIN

GTIN (also known as EAN) stands for “Global Trade Item Number” and is the number sequence shown beneath a barcode symbol.

GTIN (EAN) is a global standard used to uniquely identify digital and physical products, allowing the barcode to be scanned anywhere in the world throughout the supply chain.

GLN

A GLN (also known as EAN) allows you to uniquely identify physical, functional, legal, or digital entities. This can include the sender, receiver, buyer, seller, supplier, manufacturer, delivery location, billing location, store, or internal departments.
