GS1 AND ISO 22005
Build traceability on recognised concepts and identifiers.
GS1 standards provide a common language for identifying products, locations and logistics units and for recording traceability events. ISO 22005 provides principles and requirements for designing and implementing feed and food-chain traceability systems.

GS1 concepts in practice
Critical Tracking Events describe what happened.
Key Data Elements describe the specific event.
GTIN can identify trade items.
GLN can identify parties and locations.
SSCC can identify logistics units.
EPCIS can support event-data sharing.
Use only the identifiers and standards relevant to the customer’s process and trading partners.
ISO 22005 as a system discipline
A traceability system needs objectives, scope, responsibilities, procedures, records, testing and review. Technology supports the system but does not replace its design and governance.
How TRAZEIT can support alignment
TRAZEIT can structure identifiers, events, relationships and evidence around recognised traceability principles. Certification claims require valid evidence that explicitly supports them.
Frequently asked questions
Must every business use all GS1 identifiers?
No. Selection depends on the supply chain, trading partners and business requirements.
Is ISO 22005 a product certification for software?
No. ISO 22005 is not presented here as a product certification for software; qualified certification professionals should confirm scope.
