Call-To-Action: Traceability Work Group

The Global Traceability Standard (GTS) aims to be the generic, foundational standard for traceability in ANY industry sector. However, being based on the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector, the current GTS is not generic enough. Any items in the GTS that are sector specific should be removed to ensure it is truly generic. It was identified by GS1 Healthcare and included on their Roadmap that a standard for Traceability in Healthcare was required.   GTS was reviewed by GS1 Healthcare Global Traceability Work Team, and the work team provided documents which constitute recommendations for changes to the GTS to make it truly generic.
