GS1 standards and the Digital Product Passport: the common language of sustainable industry — Panel discussion at Tech For Industry Show 2026 (Paris Expo Porte de Versailles), featuring GS1 France, the French Railway Industries Federation, Groupe SEB, CERIB and buildingSMART.
Rail, construction, home appliances: very different sectors have found in GS1 standards a shared infrastructure to exchange their data and gain collective efficiency. How does a common language structure product data, strengthen competitiveness and prepare companies for the Digital Product Passport (DPP)?
Key topics: GS1 deployment in rail (SNCF's Scan IT app, 60% of rolling stock, savings of €0.5–2M/year); Groupe SEB's 140 data points per product and 10 million data points a year (Tefal, Rowenta, Moulinex); construction facing the Construction Products Regulation and BIM; and the link between GS1 and buildingSMART.
The guiding thread: without structured data and trust, there is no reliable exchange — and no Industry 5.0.
