GS1 Architecture

© 2010 GS1 GS1 Architecture Principles Guidelines for the development of standards An ideal goal of the GS1 System Ensure consistency for our Members Ensure stability for our Members Variances permitted only after stringent review Must be approved by various GSMP management boards 7
