Global Product Classification (GPC)

Global Product Classification (GPC) is the chosen GS1 standard mandatory classification system for the GS1 Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN). Sellers and buyers need to group products the same way globally to ensure effective data synchronisation in the GDSN, to enable product search, view, and validation, as  well as publication and subscription match. Only products classified according to GPC will be registered in the GS1 Global Registry.
