Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM)

 

 

Many of our members do not manufacture their products at their premises but entrust this to Contract or Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) for their needs. OEM Manufacturers provide a service, in many cases as a one-stop solution, to many companies that either cannot or do not want to manage their own factories.

 

To ensure the manufactured products are correctly and properly labelled, OEM manufacturers should: 

 

A) Encourage their clients to register with GS1 Malaysia directly for a new GS1 Membership License,

 

If this is not possible:

 

B) Enrol with GS1 Malaysia for a new GS1 Membership License on their client’s behalf, with their details and permission.

 

If this too is not possible:

 

C) Apply for an additional block of barcode numbers under their account. The additional block:

  1. Must only be used to identify products and trade items from 1 company / Brand Owner
  2. Is only available to GS1 Malaysia Standard Membership Licenses
  3. Must be transferred to the client company/brand owner in question the moment they no longer use the services of the OEM Manufacturer. The additional number will be changed to a full account and must be maintained by the brand owner.
