The GS1 Database is a free lookup tool designed for identifier verification. GS1 US Data Hub is a subscription-based platform that provides expanded search and verification capabilities, along with access to additional product, company, and location information depending on the View/Use subscription you choose. 

The GS1 Database uses brand-supplied, GS1 standards-based information to help verify products, companies, locations, and identifiers. The data is provided by both domestic and international companies.

The GS1 Database is updated approximately every 24 hours using data provided directly by brand owners. As companies add or update their product and location information, those changes are typically reflected in the database within the next daily update cycle. The accuracy and completeness of the information depend on the data supplied by the brand owner.

If you have questions about the information returned in your search results, the best place to start is with the trading partner or brand owner that provided the data. Because product, company, and location information is supplied and maintained by brand owners, they are best positioned to answer questions about specific records.

If you're unable to contact the brand owner, or if you have general questions about using the GS1 Database, please reach out to GS1 US Member Support through the contact form for assistance.

For occasional searches, the GS1 Database is a great starting point as it has a limit of 30 daily searches. If your organization regularly verifies large volumes of product, company, or location data, GS1 US Data Hub | View/Use may be a better fit because it provides expanded verification capabilities, data management options, export functionality, and integration opportunities.
