EPCIS (Electronic Product Code Information Services) is a GS1 standard for sharing what happened to serialized products—who shipped which serials, when, and from which location.
Partners typically deliver EPCIS as XML or JSON containing ObjectEvent and AggregationEvent records. Under DSCSA, EPCIS is the interoperable traceability payload. It carries transaction information (TI) and transaction history (TH) alongside serial accountability.
EPCIS is not a purchase order or warehouse pick list. It answers custody questions: which GTIN+serial numbers changed hands at each step in the supply chain.
