Product data creation and quality assurance for safety!

GS1Trade Exact is our service that ensures the quality of the product data you share with your trading partners. We check your physical product against the data you have entered in GS1Trade Sync, or create it for you in GS1Trade Sync if that's what you want.

When a product is quality assured, it is validated and has the green stamp in GS1Trade Sync, so all trading partners can see that your product data has been quality checked.

All you need to do is create an order (see below) and send us a case of the product. Then we create, publish and quality assure in GS1Trade Sync.

Exact Product Creation and Product Quality Check

For those who want the easy solution where we take care of everything from A-Z

Here we create the product from scratch in GS1Trade Sync based on the physical product. It also includes Exact Product Quality Check, where a green valid stamp is included.

All required fields in GS1Trade Sync are filled in as well as additional information on the product that is relevant for Exact Quality Check. This could include storage instructions, claims such as FSC labeling, Nordic Swan Ecolabel, Whole Grain Label. Marketing texts are however excluded.

When creating a product, we must receive a physical copy of the product, and a creation form with additional information that is not included in the physical products must be attached when ordering. This can be found in the order form.

A product creation and quality check includes a maximum of one base unit + one case.

Exact Product Quality Check

For those who have already created the product but would like to quality assure your data

Here we check the created product data in GS1Trade Sync against the correct final product.

Among other things, this is to ensure that online consumers have the same information available as the consumer looking at the product in the store.

Ordering Exact Product Quality Check requires that you:

  • have created and published data on the product in GS1Trade Sync.
  • submits the physical products that can be checked. These must be the same that your customer would receive.

If you want both the base unit and the case to be quality assured, make sure you send us a full case.
A quality check includes a maximum of one base unit + one case.

Exact Label Quality Check

Here we check for updates to the corrected label information. For example, this could be an update of ingredient lists or recalculation of nutritional information.

With Exact Label Quality Check, you do not need to submit physical goods. It is possible to attach the updated label in a file to the order. Our task during an Exact Label Quality Check is to check the entered data against the data that appears from either the attached file or the submitted product.

Prior to ordering Exact Label Quality Check, it is important that you update the product's data in GS1Trade Sync.

If a physical product is submitted, a handling fee of DKK 160 will be added, except if product images are also ordered via our service, GS1Trade Image.

Exact Label Quality Checks can only be performed on products that have previously undergone Exact Product Quality Checks.
