The purpose of GS1 user groups
The purpose of GS1 User Groups is to facilitate the implementation of GS1 standards, locally and globally. Together, we interpret GS1 standards, propose global improvements and, where necessary to meet business needs, make local recommendations for implementation.
As a company, we feel extremely privileged to be part of this discussion as a participant in the user group.
