GTIN-8 Registration

Active GS1 Members that require a smaller barcode subset due to products with a footprint too small for conventional EAN-13 barcode symbols can apply for GTIN-8.

The fee is RM250.00 per GTIN-8. As of 18 December 2018, your annual subscription fees will be increased by an amount equal to the price of each GTIN-8 number requested.

Kindly contact GS1 Malaysia at membership@gs1my.org for more information. 



Universal Product Code (UPC) Application

UPC Codes are an earlier GS1 barcode identifier that is commonly used for products sold in or coming from the USA and Canada. The UPC Membership License is available for subscription by existing active GS1 Members. Kindly take note of the following before you apply:

  1. It is a separate membership license.
  2. It available for subscription only by existing active GS1 Members.
  3. A standard GS1 barcode number consists of 13 digits, hence it is called GTIN-13 or EAN code, while the UPC barcode number consists of 12 digits, hence it is called GTIN-12 or UPC Code. Both are issued by GS1.
  4. Both codes are accepted as official barcode numbers worldwide by the GS1 Community as long as they are issued by a valid GS1 Member Organisation (MO).
  5. UPC Codes are still in use today mainly due to legacy hardware/software, logistical or business-related reasons.
  6. When requested by your local trading partner in those countries, kindly take note that they will most likely refer to any barcode as "UPC Code" or just "UPC". This is not a request for UPC Codes but a request that you have proper GS1 barcodes on your products. Make sure you check with them first before applying for UPC.
  7. If you are outside of the USA or Canada, only GS1 Malaysia (or your local GS1 MO) can issue UPC barcodes to you as part of the GS1 Alliance Agreement III with GS1 US.
