Notes:

  1. Prefixes not explicitly listed above are reserved by GS1 Global Office for future use.
  2. 951 is used to issue General Manager Numbers for the EPC General Identifier (GID) scheme as defined by the EPC Tag Data Standard.
  3. 960, 961 & 9620 to 9624 have been assigned to GS1 UK for GTIN-8 allocation. 9625 & 9626 have been assigned to GS1 Poland for GTIN-8 allocation.
  4. For 12-digit GTINs, and only 12-digit GTINs, there is an implied leading zero. For example, given the 12-digit GTIN 614141234561, the GS1 Prefix is 061, not 614.
