GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) is a unique and internationally recognized product identifier. The abbreviation GTIN (formerly EAN) represents a globally unique number for trade items. If a GTIN code is available, it is listed next to the barcode on the product packaging, on the cover of a book, etc. Originally, GTIN was known as EAN, because it was originally a European system, where it was first widely used. It is currently coordinated by GS1 (formerly EAN International) based in Brussels. The UCC (Uniform Code Council) operating in North America (now GS1 US and GS1 Canada) has also become a member of GS1. The GTIN identifier is therefore used globally.
The identifier system is then used worldwide for the electronic document interchange (EDI) communication standard.
