You can choose the method that best fits your needs: ComfortCheck or SelfCheck

By adhering to the program, you will comply with the data quality requirements from the top retailers in the market

Visual inspection of product must be done to ensure consistency of information between packaging and GDSN digital information

GS1 allows 2 (two) methods to conduct this and remain in compliance with requirements: ComfortCheck and SelfCheck

Method 1: ComfortCheck: Brands send the packaging artwork. GS1 Germany carries out the visual inspection of the product packaging
Method 2: SelfCheck: Brands that have achieved a 97% Data Quality score can get certified to carry out the visual inspection of the product packaging themselves
