Just Released
See four new or updated guidance documents developed by various GS1 US Apparel and General Merchandise Initiative workgroups.
New ResourceExchanging Raw Materials
Digital sourcing of raw materials offers the opportunity to improve process efficiencies and gain competitive advantages, but requires a common language to specify attribute values. This new guidance provides a common vocabulary to specify the attribute values for raw materials and identifying like-kind materials in order to streamline sourcing decisions and clarify purchasing specifications.
Updated Resource Exchanging Product Images and Attributes
With an ever-increasing demand for product images and data attributes, this document was recently updated to provide best practice guidance on how to create, manage and supply product images and data attributes for use in commerce applications across retail operations.
New ResourceSustainability in Packaging Materials
As the retail landscape is being transformed and calls to reduce packaging waste grow, this new guidance is focused on how to incorporate sustainable practices in the supply chain.
Updated ResourceFormat and Symbol Placement for EPC
To support organizations with their implementation of radio frequency identification (RFID), this 1.2 version of the EPC Tag Placement guidance expands the list of merchandise categories with details on the format and symbol placement of the EPCs.
Workgroup Updates
The Tag Placement Workgroup has been launched as a result of the expanded use of RFID. The workgroup will update the RFID tag placement guideline to include additional product categories. The workgroup will be sunset upon publication of the updated guideline. The kickoff meeting was on February 21st and the work is expected to conclude by July of 2024, meeting at least once a month in the interim.
