In common parlance, many people know the GTIN as a barcode, but technically the GTIN is the number below the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.
GS1 Denmark is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to administer and disseminate a range of products and services (hereinafter "the standards") that are widely used in Denmark and the rest of the world, such as barcodes and GLN numbers, product data exchange systems or EDI.
GS1 Denmark's pilot projects are aimed at companies and organizations that are interested in testing the use of the standards in new industries and/or business areas. It is expected that the organization or company wishing to enter into an agreement on a pilot scheme works in an industry or business area where the standards are not (or to a small extent) used so far, or that the company or organization is about to initiate a project that in itself would correspond to such a new industry.
GS1 Denmark offers a limited membership that supports the company or organization in proving that GS1 standards can work for them.
A limited number of pilot schemes are offered and these have a duration of one year. The price varies according to the need for GS1 Denmark resources during the pilot - however, the minimum price is DKK 5,000.
Below is a link to the pilot scheme application form. This must be completed and sent to info@gs1.dk. GS1 Denmark will then review the application based on various criteria, including whether there are other existing members who have implemented standards for the industry or business area, and assess whether the application can be accepted. The review process can take up to 10 working days. If the application is approved, the applicant will receive a contract to be signed and returned, after which the pilot scheme can begin. You can contact us if you need assistance with the application.

The GS1Denmark pilot scheme is for all companies or organizations that want to test the GS1 standards in an industry or business area where standards are currently not (or to a limited extent) used.

The company "Bilen kører igen A/S" needs to structure their master data so that they can get a better overview of what products they have and where they come from. At the same time, they also want to be able to give their customers information about which products they use when they replace parts on the cars they have in for repair. For this task, "Bilen kör igen A/S" will try to use the global master data system GDSN. GDSN is a GS1 standard and GS1 Denmark offers a service for this, namely GS1Trade Sync.
At GS1 Denmark we have not been active in this industry before, and therefore GS1 Denmark would like to offer a pilot scheme.
