Step 1 - Login web interface
Log in with the login details you received by email. In the web interface you can create multiple user accounts yourself, for example for colleagues.
Step 2 - Entering data
If you deliver packaged food, health and/or beauty items, you will enter label information (including allergens, ingredients and nutritional values) in addition to logistical data. We have documentation available for you and recommend that you study it:
- International measurement rules
- Attributes list (for both logistic and label information)
- Guidelines for the exchange of product images
All information on entering product information can be found on our website.
Step 3 - Checking your data quality
When signed up for GS1 Data Source, you automatically participate in the data quality programme. This means, among other things, that the product data of the products you enter will be checked.
- You yourself ensure your data is checked by GS1 accredited Data Management Service (DMS). You choose a DMS yourself and report this in MyGS1.
- Before the checks, you send in the products or pdf's of packages you are entering data of to the DMS op (both a consumer unit and a trade unit). They check whether the data from and on your products are the same as those you have entered.
Outsource the recording of product data
Suppliers can also outsource the entering and/or uploading of item data. The data then does not need to be checked. Several Data Management Services are accredited to record and check data for suppliers.
