Where it stands
As of 2026-10-13, the Agentic Standards Map records:
Release 1.7.0 ratified August 2026; the archive on ref.gs1.org lists “Published 7 August 2026”.
Why it matters to agents
The syntax “distinguishes between primary identification keys that express simple GS1 identifiers, such as GTIN and GLN” and key qualifiers and attributes; a GS1 Digital Link URI “is a particular form of URL”.
