They provide a globalreference document covering all technical aspects of the GS1 System. Their primary objective is to define theinternational standard upon which individual GS1 Member Organizations can develop user documentation.Electronic Data InterchangeThe use of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is an integral part of the GS1 System philosophy. Full details onthe EDI standards are contained in EANCOM and GS1 XML. EANCOM is an implementation guideline of theEDIFACT standards (Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport) developedunder the auspices of the United Nations.NavigatorThese specifications have been developed as a reference document aimed primarily at GS1 MemberOrganisations (who also produce local language user manuals) and system engineers developing softwarebased upon GS1 System standards. All aspects of the GS1 System are summarized in Section 1, which isrecommended for those wishing to become familiar with the GS1 System logic and terminology.Each application section mandates the use of system features defined elsewhere in this document, such asCheck Digits, Element Strings, data carriers, and bar code symbol placement.The sections of these GS1 General Specifications are: Section 1. Basics and Principles of the GS1 System: Provides an introduction to the corecomponents of the GS1 System Section 2 Application Identification: Provides a definition for each GS1 application using atemplate format. Each application is uniquely identified and contains a description, the associatedGS1 Key, its definition and links to relevant data structures and attributes (Section 3), rules(Section 4), carrier specifications (Section 5), placement (section 6), and unique processingrequirements (Section 7). Section 3 GS1 Application Identifier Definitions: Describes the meaning, structure, and functionof the GS1 element strings so they can be correctly processed in users’ application programs Section 4 Application Rules: Provides the rules for use of GS1 Keys in their applicationenvironments. Differences in industries are included as well as the data relationship rules forApplication Identifier use. Section 5 Data Carriers: Provides a detailed description of the data carriers that are endorsed byGS1. It includes symbol specification tables for use in the supply chain operational environment aswell as the related bar code production and quality assessment required to achieve excellent scanrates.Issue 1, Jan-2010All contents copyright GS1Page 3 of 431
General Specifications, Version 10Preface Section 6 Symbol Placement Guidelines: Provides guidance on symbol placement as well astransport label standards and tag standards Section 7 AIDC Validation Rules: Provides rules for validating and processing GS1 ElementStrings without human intervention. Check digit and calendar date algorithms are also included.
