What is GTIN?
GTIN stands for Global Trade Item Number, and it is GS1’s globally unique product and trade item identifier, also known as a barcode number, SKU, or product identifier.
GS1 GTINs uniquely identify different product types & models and are therefore different between products and product variants.
GS1 GTINs come in different lengths, each of which have different uses:

Notes:
- Contact GS1 Malaysia at gs1malaysia@gs1my.org if you have any questions about barcode number generation.
- All generated barcode numbers are from a member’s allocated GS1 licensed prefix(es).
- Generated barcode numbers ARE NOT a new separate block i.e., is not a new set of numbers.
- The barcode number generation service is an as-needed service. It is not subscription-based, nor does it renew with the license renewal.
- All generated barcode numbers start from the first allocated number.
- If you want to start from a different running number (e.g., your previous PIC had generated the barcode numbers for you, but they are no longer able to), you must provide GS1 with the last used or last known full barcode number; GS1 will generate the barcode number after that number for you. This is to prevent duplication of barcode numbers i.e., 2 or more products carrying the same barcode number.
