GS1 GSMP (Global Standards Management Process)

GS1 GSMP (Global Standards Management Process) is the GS1 standards management process that defines specifications for the European Digital Product Passport. The GSCN 23-103 specification (GS1 General Specifications Change Notification) defines GS1 identification standards for the DPP, including: GTIN (GTIN-8/12/13/14), GLN (13 digits), GS1 Digital Link URI with uncompressed syntax, Application Identifiers (AI 01, 03, 10, 21, 22, 242), and identification granularity (model, batch, serial). This specification ensures global interoperability and compliance with ESPR Regulation (EU) 2024/1781. Verisav validates DPP compliance according to GS1 GSMP specifications. GS1 GSMP (Global Standards Management Process) is GS1's official process for developing, maintaining and publishing GS1 standards. This process ensures that all GS1 standards are developed collaboratively, transparently and in line with industry needs. The GSMP process enables companies and organizations to propose new standards or modifications to existing standards, which are then reviewed, validated and published according to a structured process. In the context of the European Digital Product Passport, GS1 used the GSMP process to develop the GSCN 23-103 specification, which defines GS1 identification standards for the DPP. This specification establishes precise rules for the use of GTIN in different formats (GTIN-8, GTIN-12, GTIN-13, GTIN-14), GLN (13-digit Global Location Number), GS1 Digital Link URI with uncompressed syntax (recommended for better interoperability), specific Application Identifiers (AI 01, 03, 10, 21, 22, 242), and identification granularity (model, batch, serial) according to regulatory requirements. This specification ensures global interoperability by using internationally recognized standards, thus enabling different systems and platforms to communicate and exchange data in a standardized manner. It also ensures compliance with ESPR Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 and European Union delegated acts. Verisav validates DPP compliance according to GS1 GSMP specifications, thus ensuring that all DPPs created via the platform are compliant, interoperable, and can be correctly interpreted by all GS1-compatible systems.
