GS1 Data implementation is progressing
Prepare your product information for the transition
We are currently building a new service for managing product information. In GS1 Data we are combining and replacing the functionalities of GS1 Synkka and GS1 Rekisteri and introducing a new, comprehensive and continuously developing service for maintaining product information. In the future, you will be able to create and manage GTIN codes and product information in the same service.
GS1 Data will be implemented in phases starting in May 2026. We will communicate the detailed schedule during the coming weeks.
Read below what you should already do now to ensure that your information is up to date in the new service.
What information will be transferred to the new service?
GS1 will transfer the product information stored in GS1 Synkka, the information stored in GS1 Rekisteri, as well as users and access rights.
From GS1 Synkka, all product information will be transferred that is in the following statuses:
- Published
- Live
- Cancelled
- Discontinued
For published and live product information, it is important that you ensure there are no errors, as errors may cause problems during the transfer or when republishing product information and, in the worst case, interrupt the entire transfer in the GS1 Data service.
The following will not be transferred from GS1 Synkka:
- Products with the status draft will not be transferred to GS1 Data.
- Review your drafts and publish those products that you want to be transferred to GS1 Data.
From GS1 Rekisteri, the following will be transferred:
- All information except product codes that were transferred from GS1 Synkka.
