What is a GTIN-13 code?
The Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) or EAN-13 is a 13-digit code that identifies product units destined for a point of sale. It allows an item to be quickly recognized in a unique, global, and unambiguous way at a point in the logistics chain and thus to take inventory or consult its associated characteristics.
A GTIN code can be accompanied by a graphical representation: a barcode. This unique code enables all of a company's business partners to identify its products and item communications easily. A request must be made to a GS1 association to obtain a GTIN code and its corresponding barcode.
