Who Is GS1?
Who Is GS1?
GS1 is a global, non-profit standards organization that develops and manages identification standards used across many industries worldwide. These standards include UPC, EAN, and GTIN barcode formats.
GS1 licenses company prefixes to businesses that purchase barcodes directly from them and maintains the related technical standards used by many major retailers, distributors, and supply chains. While GS1 standards are widely adopted, GS1 is not a government agency and does not have regulatory authority over all barcode usage worldwide.
Speedy Barcodes provides legitimate UPC and EAN barcode numbers originating from pre-2002 UCC prefixes, allowing businesses to use barcodes without GS1 membership, renewal fees, or annual costs.
