	"A GS1 GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) is a globally unique identification number for an item or product and can be used to identify your products at any packaging level. It’s powerful because it provides a common language for your business entities and trading partners across the world to identify your item and share its data easily."

−	~~The Global Trade Item Number~~ (~~GTIN~~) is a global supply chain solution that enables identification of any trade item that may be priced, ordered or invoiced at any point in the supply chain upon which there is a need to retrieve predefined information. Whatever the sector and kind of trade item, the rules in the Global Trade Item Number Management Standard apply.

The production of standardised barcodes are used for worldwide product identification, allowing products to be scanned at points-of-sale, tracked throughout supply chains and contribute to a global inventory of products. UPCs are 12-digit codes, EANs are 13-digit codes, whilst GTINs can vary in length of 8, 12, 13, or 14 digits, depending on the type of product and the region, but normally within 14-digit data structure.

	"Unique identification of construction products is critical to maintaining operational efficiencies that stakeholders rely on to exchange information about products in consistent ways, as well as ensuring the smooth operations of global supply chains. Additionally, the unique identification of construction products is crucial when complying with various regulations across the globe. Finally, unique identification, as well as communication between trading partners of changes to the products, are essential to ensure the right product is made available on the store shelf or directly to the end user.

To meet these needs, this document further illustrates examples of how to manage GTINs for parties involved in maintenance, repair, upgrade, reuse, and recycling of construction products."
