GS1net™ Certification Program
The GS1net Certification Program is designed to certify a product’s ability to meet the local GS1net requirements by all engaged industry sectors.
The Certification Program is conducted by GS1 Australia is only available to GS1 Australia Alliance Partners who have an understanding of the components of GS1 System which form the basis for Data Synchronisation.
Local Certification
GS1net Certification applies to GS1net Only
The GS1net Certification Program only certifies a product’s ability to meet the local requirements of GS1net. It does not certify that the Product is able to meet the requirements of any other GDSN Certified Data Pool or to meet the requirements of any trading partner using another GDSN Certified Data Pool.
GDSN Standards are standards that govern the interoperability between GDSN Certified Data Pools and between GDSN Certified Data Pools and the GS1 Global Registry. GDSN Standards do not govern how a GDSN Data Pool interacts with its users.
For example, GS1 XML is the format used to exchange data within the GDSN. However, a GDSN Certified Data Pool does not have to support GS1 XML as the format used to receive data from Data Sources or send data to Data Recipient, and in fact, many don’t.
Further, there are some optional components in GDSN that Certified Data Pools do not have to support in order to be Certified. For example, Price Attributes and non-Core Item Attributes are all optional components of GDSN. Some non-Core Item Attributes are developed by Certified Data Pools only applicable to their local market.
As a result, GS1net Certification is designed to only certify a product’s ability to meet GS1net requirements. Users wanting to leverage GDSN functionality with customers or suppliers overseas are encouraged to contact GS1 Australia to discuss their specific requirements for advice.
Disclaimer - GS1 Australia does not warrant that the GS1 Alliance Partners solution is fit for any specific party or purpose. All prospective purchasers or users should make their own independent enquiries as to the suitability of the solution for their requirements.
