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:
- Must only be used to identify products and trade items from 1 company / Brand Owner
- Is only available to GS1 Malaysia Standard Membership Licenses
- 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.
