GS1 UK is leading the UK's transition to the next generation of barcodes.

GS1 UK is a community of over 60,000 members working in retail, healthcare, construction and more. We are one of 120 independent, not-for-profit GS1 organisations operating across 150 countries worldwide. Think of our standards as the DNA of the supply chain. They enable a complete, real-time inventory picture covering all product, transactional and location data. In fact, by using our unique numbers to identify, capture and share information on any product, asset or location, our barcodes and innovative supporting technologies can make your life a whole lot simpler too. We help everyone involved in making, moving and trading goods to automate and standardise their supply chain processes using the common language of GS1 global standards. And we bring the same efficiencies to the healthcare supply chain – right through to improved patient safety. Learn more about what we do at https://www.gs1uk.org
