Welcome to GS1 Singapore  

GS1 Singapore is a not-for-profit organisation established in 1987 to implement and administer the global multi-industry GS1 standards-based system of automatic identification (using barcodes, 2D-codes and RFID - radio frequency identification) and communication for products, services, assets and locations. With our network of 111 GS1 member organisations (MOs) around the world today, over one million registered users companies in 150 countries use GS1 standards as part of their daily business communications, representing over five billion barcode scans  a day. In Singapore, GS1 barcodes are used to capture over $4 billion of sales at retail point-of-sales (POS) terminals annually.

GS1 identification numbers and barcodes permit organisations of any size to order, track, trace, deliver and pay for goods across the supply chain, anywhere in the world. The GS1 System was developed by user companies under the leadership of GS1 Global Office (based in Brussels, Belgium). It is recognised by the International Standards Organisation (ISO), the European Standardisation Committee (CEN) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

GS1 Singapore is here to help Singapore companies become more efficient; our fundamental role apart from allocating GS1 company prefix numbers, Global Location Number and EPC manager numbers, is also to help companies adopt world's best practices in supply chain management.
