The data models for the Swiss target market are documented in the GS1 Swiss Profiles Overview. Currently these are trustbox for pre-packed food, consumer goods for consumer goods/retail (FMCG) and healthcare for the health sector. In this document you can easily filter the desired information or search for an attribute or attribute group. Each attribute is described with its definition, status (mandatory, optional, conditional), format and valid values and includes a link to the code list (pick list) if applicable. This helps to fill in the attributes. All information in this document is available in German and English.

The data models were developed in cooperation with partners from industry and commerce and are based on the worldwide GDSN Business Message Standard.

The compendium describes the content relevant to the Swiss target market for consumer goods. It specifies all attributes and contains definitions, supplementary community descriptions / explanations, links / conditions as well as tips and examples.

The compendium is only available in German.
