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.

Introduction
• WHAT• Harmonisation of European Logistic Labels (HELL)
• WHO• 24 GS1 MO’s participating led by GS1 Poland + GS1 GO
• WHEN• February 2005 – October 2006
• 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

Guidelines
• common definitions of standard and non-standard logistic units
• one common approach towards pallet types division:
• 4 types, 7 kinds and 12 examples of logistic units
• one mandatory AI (00) – Serial Shipping Container Code

Guidelines
• Standard homogeneous:
SSCC with AI (00)
- GTIN2 with leading “9” with AI (01)*
- one of the measures:
net weight (kg) with AI (310n) length (m) with AI (311n) area (m2) with AI (314n) net volume (l) with AI (315n)
or
- GTIN1 with leading “9” with AI (02)
- quantity of boxes with AI (37)
- one of the measures:
net weight (kg) with AI (310n) length (m) with AI (311n) area (m2) with AI (314n) net volume (l) with AI (315n)
- batch / lot number with AI (10)
- one of the following dates if applicable:
production date with AI (11) packaging date with AI (13) best before date with AI (15) expiry date with AI (17)

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: YESYES / NONO)
• result for user picture of logistic label that should appear in
users’ practice
• final version – September 2006

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.

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).

Our message
A harmonized logistic label is possible
and adopting a harmonized approach saves
and !!!

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.
