There is an increasing demand for data, which is why we update (release) the data model a few times a year. Then, for example, we implement changes in validations, entry instructions, fields or codes.
November 2026
A new release is coming up in November. The main changes are:
- New attributes and data entry instructions have been added for breast implants. This enables information about the characteristics of these implants to be shared with healthcare institutions and (quality) registries.
- Changes have been made to the data entry instructions for sterilization attributes, and a new sterilization code has been added.
- A new code has been added to enable the sharing of training documentation.
- An overview of the code lists and the codes used has been added to the Common ECHO data model
Below you will find an overview of the changes and the complete validation overview. Open the files to see which changes are relevant to you.
As a supplier, please make the necessary adjustments via the GDSN data pool. For new or modified fields, healthcare institutions should ensure that the new data can be processed internally.
If you have any questions, please contact Relationship Management at accounts@gs1.nl.
