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.

GS1 Denmark is now launching GS1 UDI Link – a new data service designed to make it easier and more reliable for medical device manufacturers to report their UDI data to regulatory databases such as EUDAMED, GUDID, and Swissdamed.
The need for an efficient solution is particularly urgent now that the EU has confirmed that reporting to EUDAMED will become mandatory from May 28, 2026. This means that many manufacturers are facing an extensive and complex task, making the assurance of accurate data flows more important than ever.
With GS1 UDI Link, medical device manufacturers can manage their UDI reporting through a single, automated flow that reduces manual handling, minimizes the risk of errors, and ensures high data quality.
The solution is built on the existing GS1Trade Sync setup and includes both validation and the correct transfer of data. At the same time, it is designed to be easily scalable to include new registries in the future.
Would you like to know more about the solution? We are hosting a free webinar on Thursday, January 15, from 10:00 AM to 10:45 AM, where we will introduce GS1 UDI Link, demonstrate concrete workflows, and provide an overview of how you can prepare your company for the upcoming mandatory reporting. The webinar is aimed at regulatory affairs professionals, UDI experts, and compliance managers.

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.
