GTIN
Colloquially, many know GTIN as a barcode, but technically, GTIN is the number found beneath the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.

An Application Identifier (AI) is a number of 2-4 digits that indicates the type and format of the data that follows. Read more about Application Identifiers
Some AIs need to be used together and some are used alone. See below those that need to be used together at the same package level and those that are used only once per package level below.
The table shows the Application Identifiers that must be used together at the same packaging level.
The table should be read as follows: A barcode label on a logistic unit that contains AI 02 (GTIN of contained trade items) must also include AI 37 (count of trade items) and AI 00 (SSCC).
1) The AIs 3nnn, where the three digits are: 312, 313, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328 and 329.
2) The AIs 3nnn, where the three digits are: 310, 311, 314, 315, 316, 320, 321, 322, 323, 350, 351, 352, 356, 357, 360, 361, 364, 365, 366.
(3) The AIs 3nnn, where the three digits are: 330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349, 353, 354, 355, 362, 363, 367, 368, and 369.
The table below shows which Application Identifiers must not appear together at the same packaging level. For example, a label on a logistic unit must not contain both AI 01 and AI 02.
Each AI may only be used once per packaging level.
