GS1 in Europe eCom Startegy
After more than 20 years of success implementing EDI with EANCOM® and GS1 XML, one matter still remains a challenge: Seamless interoperability across countries, sectors and business domains. The reality is that EANCOM® and GS1 XML face competing implementations of other standards and the GS1 tendency to adapt the global recommendation to national needs, being especially true for EANCOM®, has led to a proliferation of national and sector specific user guides reflecting the needs of the user communities, rendering cross-sector, cross-border, and cross-platform communication more difficult. This development is contrary to the vision of providing a “global language of business” to the users.

The European Guide to implement EPC/RFID for Retailers and their Suppliers
The adoption of EPC and RFID technology is expanding rapidly in different regions of the world, including in Europe. Since the technology is based on its potential to improve business processes across the global value chain, it has been championed by more and more industries. In order to use EPC and RFID efficiently, all companies involved need to agree initially on basic specifications and standards about how to implement this technology. The European Guide supports companies to prepare their deployment and to protect their investment while increasing confidence to those who are new to the technology.

Taking into account that GS1 EPCglobal standards are in place now, there is still the need for guidelines and references of good practices to facilitate any future EPC implementations in Europe. Hence, the initiative of different European retailers and consumer goods manufacturers to come together and develop the European Guide. Major stakeholders in the retail environment like Carrefour, Henkel, Kraft International, Metro Group, Nestle, P&G and Rewe Group have all actively participated in this joint collaborative effort and agreed on the content of the European Guide.

The guideline are available in English, German and Ferench! To download click on "more"!
