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.
SSCC stands for Serial Shipping Container Code and is used to uniquely identify each individual logistic unit, such as a pallet or parcel.
Each logistic unit must have its own unique SSCC number — even if the contents are identical. For example, two pallets of red umbrellas must each have a unique SSCC in order to be easily tracked through the supply chain. This is particularly beneficial in the event of product recalls.
En identifikationsnøgle starter altid med et virksomhedspræfiks. Et virksomhedspræfiks er et GS1 ID, som du køber i Mit GS1.
Der findes virksomhedspræfikser i forskellige længder: fra 7 cifre til 11 cifre lange. Det varierer efter antallet af numre, som du har behov for.
Præfikset suppleres med et x antal cifre for at opnå en identifikationsnøgle (for eksempel GTIN).
Jo kortere virksomhedspræfiks, desto flere frie positioner har du til at identificere produkter med. Med andre ord, jo kortere virksomhedspræfiks, desto flere identifikationsnumre kan du oprette. Dette kalder vi 'nummereringskapacitet'.
Det sidste ciffer er et kontrolciffer, der bekræfter, at koden er korrekt.
Nedenfor kan du se hvordan data synkroniseres imellem købere og sælgere vha. GS1 GDSN og GS1 Global Registry.
1. Loading of company data
2. Registering of company data
3. Subscription to seller's data pool
4. Publishing of company data
5. Confirmation receipt of company data
You generate an SSCC number based on the 7- to 11-digit company prefix that you have ordered and received from GS1 Denmark.

Based on the 11 digits you have received, you create 13-digit GTINs as shown in the example below:
When an SSCC number is encoded in a barcode, it is represented in a GS1-128 barcode, which is typically used on pallet labels. Read more about how a pallet label should be structured.
GS1-128 is constructed using Application Identifiers (AIs), which define the type of data contained in the barcode. The Application Identifier (AI) for SSCC is (00).
SSCC numbers may only be reused after a minimum of 12 months. However, it is recommended never to reuse them.
This is because information linked to an SSCC number may continue to exist digitally within customers’ or recipients’ systems, even after the required 12-month period has passed.
