GTIN (EAN) (GTIN)

The GTIN is the successor of the former EAN and represents a unique article key throughout the European region. The specification of the GTIN is an important quality feature for the actual products. In some exceptions in the assortment (see Chapter 1.2), a GTIN is often not available.

The GTIN provides a unique identification of an article. Reuse is excluded by GS1 since January 1, 2019. Further details can be found here: GTIN Non Reuse - Neue Vergaberegel für GTINs

A GTIN may only be assigned to exactly one article number. The exception here is an article number change.
