Do I need a new GTIN?

Welcome to the GS1 GTIN Management Decision-Support Tool. Use it to understand when to change a GTIN used within open retail supply chains.

Guiding Principles for making good decisions

At least one of the following guiding principles must apply for a GTIN change to be required

Is a consumer or supply chain partner expected to distinguish new or changed products from previous/current products?
Is there a regulatory/liability disclosure requirement to the consumer and/or trading partner?
Is there a material impact to the supply chain (i.e.: how the product is shipped, stored, received)
Get started!

Additional Information

  • As always, it is important to maintain awareness of regulations that may require that GTIN change (whether locally, nationally or regionally).
  • The GTIN Management Standard represents a minimum requirement. Please be advised that there may be regulation(s) in your market that are more stringent and SHALL be adhered to.
  • All local legal and regulatory requirements supercede the GTIN Management Standard.
