Welcome to the partner programme

Find all the information and resources you need
to make the most of your partnership.

Welcome to the GS1 UK partner programme. We are pleased to have you onboard.

As a neutral standards company, we create the rules but you, our partners, create the tools. The products and solutions you develop play a critical role in supporting the implementation of global standards. It is this combination that helps to improve data quality and drive efficiencies, creating greater transparency for your customers.

To help you make the most of your partnership, please follow these three simple steps.

Code of practice

Step 1: Review the code of practice

We harness the power of standards to transform the way we work and live, and we believe our partners should do the same. This is the reason why we start with our code of practice.

This allows us to uphold the integrity of the partnership and ensures we can maintain a consistent and coordinated approach to supporting our members - your clients.

Step 2: Complete the product approval process

During the approval process, our GS1 UK standards experts check that your product/solution can utilise the appropriate GS1 standards. Once you have successfully completed the process, you will receive an approved certificate, public report, and a listings page on our partner finder.

Step 3: List your profile on partner finder

Once you have successfully completed the product approval process, the next step is to complete your profile for our partner finder.

Partner finder is a search tool our members use to find solution providers that have products capable of using GS1 standards.

Your public report and approval certificate will form an important part of your profile as these will provide evidence of which standards your product/solution has been approved for.

Your profile will be the first point of contact our members will have so it is important to ensure you make it work for you.

Since the launch of the new GS1 UK partner finder we have experienced a significant uplift in the number of direct contacts we receive via our profile each week. We have seen positive growth across all facets of our business in response to the increased demand for GS1 standards-based products and services. Becoming a GS1 UK partner has been integral to us as a business – enabling us provide an even better, high-quality service to our clients.”

Step 4: Showcase your work

Case studies are a great way of showcasing the work you do with industry. Members often look to case studies to hear more about how you support customers and how you use GS1 standards.

We are always on the lookout for more examples of GS1 standards in practice from our partners. If you would like to share a case study, please contact us via the link below.
