GS1 Switzerland Expert Groups
Specialists meet in GS1 Switzerland's expert groups to jointly solve update-related tasks for specific topics and to exchange experiences.

Our current specialist groups:
Using GS1 standards and taking into account collaborative approaches, various processes in demand and category management are optimised and standardised. The result is a common and holistic understanding of the process.

Experts from trade and industry (consumer goods) meet in the Standards Expert Group to find solutions to update-related tasks in connection with the use of GS1 standards for the supply chain of the consumer goods industry, including PoS. If necessary, corresponding recommendations for Switzerland are developed. The expert group also discusses the global amendments in the GSMP process to the AIDC and EDI standards, insofar as these are relevant for Switzerland and the consumer goods industry. Decisions on national amendments to the EDI and AIDC are made within the framework of this expert group.

The challenges in healthcare are manifold: traceability, anti-counterfeiting and patient safety are top priorities in the healthcare supply chain. Master data plays a key role in this. The Master Data Expert Group maintains and sharpens the information profile for the sector, coordinates new requirements and develops recommendations with regard to master data. The results flow back into the development of the standards and also the firstbase healthcare solution.
