15.4 Pet Food

This group of attributes is used to communicate product information relating to ingredients, nutrients (analytical constituents), additives and feeding instructions for pet food and other animal feed. The values needed for many of these attributes may be dictated by local or regional regulations. It is recommended to refer to local/regional market regulations when developing this information and to your local MO for best practices.

14 Product Life Cycle

This group of attributes may also be described as the “Date/Time” attributes. They describe dates/times associated with product life cycle events from initial development of a product through ordering and shipping, retail sales and eventual discontinuation and end of availability. These attributes allow trading partners (sellers and buyers) to communicate and coordinate the timing of commerce.
