We are a not-for-profit standards body, set up by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, along with CII, FICCI, ASSOCHAM, FIEO, IMC, BIS, Spices Board, APEDA, and IIP. We help Industry in adopting global GS1 standards in their supply chains to enhance efficiency and profitability. GS1 standards facilitate unique and universal identification, capture and share of information on products and services, from point-of-origin to point-of-sale or dispensation. Most commonly, our standards are used in barcoding of consumer items and they enable important applications such as product authentication, track & trace, product recall, real-time stocks monitoring, online selling and more.
