  1. Harmonisation ofEuropean logistic labels Grzegorz SokołowskiInstitute of Logistics and WarehousingGS1 Poland

  2. Agenda • Introduction • Guidelines • Educational software • Migration plan • Other issues

  3. SSCC The base of GS1 System • GS1 identification numbers: identification of traded units (GTIN), identification of logistics units (SSCC), identification of location (GLN), etc. • Application Identifiers: AI (00), AI (02), AI (10), etc. GTIN GLN

  4. standard and common use bar codes symbologies use for Automatic Identification of traded units, location, logistics units and assets Bar codes – GS1 products EAN-13 RSS ITF 2/5 GS1-128

  5. Introduction • WHAT • Harmonisation of European Logistic Labels (HELL) • WHO • 24 GS1 MO’s participating led by GS1 Poland + GS1 GO • WHEN • February 2005 – October2006 • WHY • harmonization of the data content (AIs) and formats of GS1 logistic labels depending on type of logistic unit or logistic process among European users • increase the correct use of GS1 standards on the basis of one clear guideline

  6. Guidelines • common definitions of standard and non-standard logistic units • one common approach towards pallet types division: • 4 types, 7 kinds and12 examples of logistic units • one mandatory AI (00) – Serial Shipping Container Code

  7. Identification of logistic units

  8. Examples of logistic units (some)

  9. Guidelines • Standard homogeneous:

  10. Label formats – A5 or A7

  11. Guidelines – content • General rules for label generation • Types of logistic labels • Data elements on label • Technical requirements for label generation • Label verification • FAQ’s • Example of logistic units • Recommended AI’s • Glossary of terms • GS1-128 • GS1 standard check digit calculations

  12. Educational software • web based tool – prepared by GS1 Austria(www.gs1-labelview.at) • main assumptions: • easy to use for members  similar to „GTIN / GLN Allocation Rules” • decision tree  set of easy questions (answer: YES / NO) • result for user  picture of logistic label that should appear in users’ practice • final version – September 2006

  13. Migration plan • All GS1 MOs eliminate any divergences between national guidelines and European guidelines, place the new guidelines on websites of GS1 MOs. • GS1 MOs together with GS1 Europe help will gain support from multinationals. • GS1 MOs and GS1 Europe will get support from main players on a national level. • GS1 Austria, GS1 Germany and GS1 Switzerland – update DACH documents to be compliant with the European guidelines.

  14. Other issues • Rapid Action Force – RAF: • continuation of cooperation • network of experts • scope: correct barcoding and logistic labels implementation • guidelines update • communication – discussion forum and www (www.gs1pl.org/raf).

  15. A harmonized logistic label is possibleand adopting a harmonized approach saves and !!! Our message

  16. Next steps for the users The users should : • get familiar with the guidelines • check if their labels are compliant with the standard • check if their traceability process requires additional data on a label • check if their partners demand additional data on labels • refer to their local GS1 MO for some help in case of any discrepancies.
