This is the persistent repository for all GS1 Architecture publications. As new publications are approved by the GS1 Architecture Group, they will be published in this reference archive and linked from the primary website. The current versions are listed below with links to further information about each one, including the publication's archive. Over time, we aim to add previous versions of GS1 Architecture publications to the relevant archive to create a complete set of all versions.

GS1 Architecture Findings
The GS1 Architecture Group responds to architectural “requests for finding" (RFF) submitted by members of the GSMP community. Published Findings are considered open, when relevant to current GSMP discussion or awaiting action. Findings are closed when the reccomended actions are completed but remain available for historic reference.
See the separate list of all Requests for Findings.
GS1 Architecture Group Technical Bulletins
Technical bulletins are GS1 Architecture Group reports outlining key information about the use of technology or features of GS1 standards, to support implementation of the GS1 System.
See the separate list of all Technical Bulletins.
