What you get

One tenant for your company, built on GS1 standards and the open-source OpenEPCIS stack.
  • Master data in GS1 vocabulary
    Products, organisations and places as GS1 Web Vocabulary, keyed by GTIN and GLN, editable in the browser or through the API.
  • Digital product passports
    Passport templates per product type with mandatory fields and defaults, rendered as a public page for every model, lot or serial.
  • GS1 Digital Link resolver
    Every number resolves to the right page or link. Linksets are registered with the GS1 registry, so scans find you.
  • Who sees what
    Mark each field public, authorised only or restricted. Consumers see what is meant for them, partners see more.
  • Your own domain
    Serve your Digital Links from your own hostname. One CNAME is all it takes.
  • Privacy-friendly scan statistics
    See how often your products are scanned and where, without storing IP addresses or tracking anybody.

How to get started

Access is granted by hand during the beta, so that only a company's own people publish under its numbers.

  1. Create an account

    Register with your e-mail address and confirm it. You set your password after clicking the link in the mail.

  2. Tell us your company

    Sign in and apply for access: with your GS1 Germany access key, with your company prefix and one GTIN or GLN as evidence, or take a test prefix and start right away.

  3. We review

    With a test prefix you are in immediately. Otherwise we check that you may act for the company and its numbers, set up your tenant, and e-mail you as soon as it is ready.

  4. Start publishing

    Sign in again, and your tenant is there: create products, fill in passports and print QR codes that resolve.

Before you register

What you need
  • You act for a business, public body or research institution. epc.is is not offered to consumers.
  • Your company holds a GS1 company prefix, or you start with a test prefix from the GS1 example range.
  • An e-mail address you can receive mail at, ideally your company address.
What beta means
  • It is free of charge during the beta.
  • We make no promises about availability, features or support while the platform is in beta, and we are liable for intent, gross negligence and wherever the law requires it. Keep your own copies of your data.
  • Links are registered with the registry GS1 runs in production, so an entry there has effect beyond epc.is.
  • Use it fairly and only under GS1 numbers your company holds. Accounts that break this get suspended.
