The GS1 Global Traceability Standard defines a framework for traceability systems focussing on key requirements needed for interoperable traceability systems. This document also introduces two key concepts for achieving truly valuable interoperable traceability. They are Critical Tracking Events (CTEs), which are the actual events (e.g., receiving, packing, shipping, transporting) that occur to the traceable object during its lifecycle and Key Data Elements (KDEs), pieces of data that describe the actual instances of the CTEs.
