How to Identify the GPC Code

The GS1 Global Product Classification (GPC) standard helps global trading partners to group products in the same way.  The GPC schema is made up of numerous components: Segment, Family, Brick and Attribute. 

GS1 US Data Hub® | Product lets you add or update GPC Brick Codes, GPC Attribute Codes, and Attribute Values directly in the tool. As you type, the system displays an autocomplete list based on the official GPC code set, so you can quickly select the correct Brick, Attribute, and Attribute Value without opening the external GS1 GPC Browser.

If you want to review the full GPC hierarchy, you can use the GPC Browser to view all available Brick Codes, Attributes, and Attribute Values before selecting the correct codes for your product.
