How GS1 Affects Pallet Procurement

Pallet buyers serving regulated industries should align procurement with GS1 requirements.

Compliance Requirements

Documentation: Maintain GS1-aligned records for all pallet transactions
Specifications: Pallet specs (kiln-dried, ISPM-15, FSMA, GDP) matched to GS1 requirements
Supplier qualification: Annual or per-shipment qualification for regulated buyers
Audit readiness: Treatment certificates, IPPC stamps, FSC chain-of-custody, ASTM D1185 test data on request
Recordkeeping: 12-24 months minimum (varies by regulation)
