Standards in practice

GS1 standards translate into practical benefits when they are used to build common solutions for sharing information between trading partners. Learn about the solutions offered by the standards, examples from different industries, and co-development that can be used to improve information flow, traceability, and data reliability between actors.

The next generation barcodes are coming

The information needs of products have increased, and therefore a new type of GS1 2D code is being introduced alongside the traditional EAN barcode. It is a QR code with information content in accordance with the GS1 standard.

The GS1 2D code opens up new possibilities for consumer communication. At the same time, it helps to improve product safety, process efficiency and supply chain management.
