Furthermore, attention is drawnto the possibility that an implementation of one or more features of this Specification may be the subject of a patent orother intellectual property right that does not involve a Necessary Claim. Any such patent or other intellectual propertyright is not subject to the licencing obligations of GS1. Moreover, the agreement to grant licences provided under the GS1IP Policy does not include IP rights and any claims of third parties who were not participants in the Work Group.Accordingly, GS1 recommends that any organisation developing an implementation designed to be in conformance with thisSpecification should determine whether there are any patents that may encompass a specific implementation that theorganisation is developing in compliance with the Specification and whether a licence under a patent or other intellectualproperty right is needed. Such a determination of a need for licencing should be made in view of the details of the specificsystem designed by the organisation in consultation with their own patent counsel.THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OFMERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGMENT, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY WARRANTY OTHER WISE ARISINGOUT OF THIS SPECIFICATION.

GS1 Logistic Label Guideline1IntroductionThe GS1 System is the most widely used supply chain standards system in the world and comprisesthe standards, guidelines, solutions and services created in formalised and collaborative processes.The Transport & Logistics industry involves the movement of goods using multiple transport modes,including road, rail, air and maritime. T&L processes involve a wide variety of parties such asconsignor and consignee, freight forwarders and carriers as well as official bodies like customs andport authorities. The often complex logistics flows and the variety of involved parties imply there is aneed for easy physical identification of logistic units. GS1 offers a standard to help accomplish this:The GS1 Logistic Label.This guideline provides guidance on how to physically identify logistic units using the GS1 LogisticLabel. It is based on the GS1 Standards described in the GS1 General Specifications, and on bestpractices gathered in various implementation projects around the world.1.1AcknowledgementsThese recommendations have been developed in collaboration with GS1 Member Organisations andthe Transport & Logistic (T&L) Member Organisation Interest Group working closely with localcommunities on Transport & Logistic process efficiencies.Special acknowledgements to GS1 in Europe, GS1 Germany, GS1 UK, GS1 Norway, GS
