| - Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) is an identifier for trade items developed by GS1 (comprising the former EAN International and Uniform Code Council). Such identifiers are used to look up product information in a database (often by inputting the number through a bar code scanner pointed at an actual product) which may belong to a retailer, manufacturer, collector, researcher, or other entity. The uniqueness and universality of the identifier is useful in establishing which product in one database corresponds to which product in another database, especially across organizational boundaries.
GTIN is an "umbrella" term used to describe the entire family of GS1 data structures for trade items (products and services) identification. GTINs may be 8, 12, 13 or 14 digits long, and can be constructed using any of four numbering structures, depending upon the exact application. GTIN-8s will be encoded in an EAN-8 bar code. GTIN-12s may be shown in UPC-A, ITF-14, or GS1-128 bar codes. GTIN-13s may be encoded in EAN-13, ITF-14 or GS1-128 bar codes, and GTIN-14s may be encoded in ITF-14 or GS1-128 bar codes. The choice of bar code will depend on the application; for example, items to be sold at a retail should be marked with EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A or UPC-E bar codes.
The EAN-8 code is an eight-digit bar code used usually for very small articles, such as chewing gum, where fitting a larger code onto the item would be difficult.
The numbering structure is as follows:
*Indicator digit, used for GTIN-14, "0" to "8" indicates a packaging level and "9" a variable measure item. There is however, no world-wide consensus on which number indicates which packaging level and in some countries (Germany) a leading zero is used independently from item hierarchy.
*GS1 Company Prefix.
*Item (product or service) reference number. This part of the numbering structure is allocated by the user company. Each different type of trade item is allocated a different number and, for ease of administration, it is recommended that companies do this sequentially (001, 002, 003, etc.).
*And a check digit, the last one, which follows a standard GS1 algorithm.
All books and serial publications sold internationally (including those in U.S. stores) have GTIN (GTIN-13) codes. The book codes are either constructed by prefixing the old ISBN 10 number with 978, and recalculating the trailing check digit, or from 1 January 2007 issued as thirteen digits starting with 978 (eventually 979 as the 978 ranges are used up).
Since each type of trade item is given its own GTIN, it may be helpful to note that the term trade item refers to any product or service upon which there is a need to retrieve pre-defined information; this product or service may be priced, ordered, or invoiced at any point in the supply chain. This includes individual items as well as all of their different packaging configurations. (en)
- Die Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) ist eine Identifikationsnummer, mit der Produkte und Packstücke weltweit eindeutig identifiziert werden können. GTIN ist ein Sammelbegriff für die Code-Schemata der Barcode-Kennzeichen mit der EAN oder dem Code des UCC und/oder auch der elektronischen Produktnummer, EPC, sämtlich vergeben und verwaltet von GS1. Für Deutschland ist die GS1 Germany zuständig. Diese umfassen für die Barcode-Kennzeichen:Die 14-stellige GTIN wird durch Voranstellen führender Nullen aus den bisherigen 13-, 12- und 8-stelligen Artikelnummern gebildet: (de)
- Le Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) est un code identifiant toute unité commerciale (unité consommateur ou unité standard de regroupement...) de façon internationale et unique. Ce code dont la structure est définie par GS1 peut prendre la forme des codes EAN/UCC 8, UCC 12, EAN/UCC 13 ou EAN/UCC 14. Il a été développé par GS1.
GTIN est un terme général utilisé pour parler de l'ensemble des structures de données pour l'identification des articles marchands (produits et services) de GS1. Le code GTIN peut être constitué de 8, 12, 13 ou 14 chiffres, et peut être construit en utilisant quatre structure numéraires, selon l'application qui en sera faite :
*GTIN-8 sera codé en EAN 8
*GTIN-12 peut être codé en UPC-A, ITF-14, GS1-128
*GTIN-13 peut être codé en EAN 13, ITF-14, GS1-128
*GTIN-14 peut être codé en ITF-14, GS1-128 (fr)
