Community Groups

GS1 Canada has a unique community management role that allows collaboration and partnership with industry in a variety of work groups, technical groups, task groups and focus groups — collectively called Community Groups.

The Community Groups are made up of subject matter experts from businesses of all sizes operating in Canada. This collaborative forum ensures GS1 Canada is developing standards, guidelines and non-proprietary business solutions that meet the requirements of the Canadian industry. The three main focuses are:

Developing Implementation Guidelines

Development and publishing of implementation guidelines and best practices using GS1 global standards for local data synchronization and direct electronic communication.

Community Submissions and Board Directives

Discussions on community submissions and/or Board directives regarding shared technical and business issues and to solve issues through the use of global standards.

Identifying Requirements for Non-competitive Issues

Identifications of requirements for non-competitive issues by offering non-proprietary ECCnet Industry Managed Solutions.

Each Community Group defines its scope and objectives through a Mandate or Call to Action.
