Sterilization Code List

[c2b30]

We have been told that code "radiation" is not part of the current GDSN release 3.1.31 for sterilization; however, it's still active on the latest 1WS IM Data Dictionary and in DSD.

Hello @c2b30 and welcome back.  I am checking for you on our end and will get back to you.  Thanks for your patience.

c2b30,

Thanks for the note and the catch in the documentation. There are a number of valid values (VV) which are in the 1WorldSync solutions which, while in a GDSN attribute, will not sync out of 1WorldSync to recipients using a GDSN CIN Message. This covers the needs of markets and recipients that utilize 1WorldSync as a technology partner.

In this case, you are correct that "radiation" is not a GDSN code. However, it has been used in IM for our technology partners since 2008.

I have updated the Item Management Participant Dictionary to correctly note this. This document will be released on or about September 5, 2025.
