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.
In February, we launched a number of new fields and validation rules in GS1Trade Sync. These updates ensure that product data complies with new legislation and data recipient requirements – and that products can be validated and published without issues.
If your company has products that require action, your data manager has already been contacted.
Requirements have been introduced to specify which collective scheme or schemes a product is settled through – or if the packaging is exempt.
The data model has been expanded with new fields for cleaning and chemical products, so that information about chemicals, hazard symbols, and safety can be shared correctly for online sales. Initially, warnings are being added – the fields will become mandatory later.
For vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements, as well as diet and meal replacements, it is now mandatory to specify a diet type code. The code activates relevant validation rules and ensures that legally required information is shared correctly.
It is now mandatory to specify the farming method, weight class, and quality class using fixed code lists.
Five new optional fields make it possible to share more detailed information about, for example, bean type, origin, and roast level.

GTIN (also known as EAN) stands for “Global Trade Item Number” and is the number sequence shown beneath a barcode symbol.
GTIN (EAN) is a global standard used to uniquely identify digital and physical products, allowing the barcode to be scanned anywhere in the world throughout the supply chain.
A GLN (also known as EAN) allows you to uniquely identify physical, functional, legal, or digital entities. This can include the sender, receiver, buyer, seller, supplier, manufacturer, delivery location, billing location, store, or internal departments.
