Open Serialization Communication Standard

From The Chairman, Marcel de Grutter

We should never forget that one of the main key-drivers to implement serialization is to fight counterfeit and save people lives! That is why it is an honor for me to lead the OPEN-SCS and to work with companies and experts who contribute with funds, time and knowledge to develop an OPEN standard that is available to everyone. We are not replacing existing standards but closing the loop. That is not an easy task, but we are striving to develop end-to-end solutions and not patching band-aids.
