What is the connection between the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) and the Electronic Product Code™ (EPC)?
The GDSN uses GS1 System standards to validate the data using GDSN standards, global attributes, and business validation rules and provides integrity of data in the network and assures it is genuine if validated against the brand owner information. The Electronic Product Code (EPC) uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and provides the information about the exact location of a product in the system. Both systems allow for the use of the GS1 Company Prefix as a primary identification through the use of GTIN, GLN, and EPC. For more information visit GDSN, Inc. or EPCglobal.
