Healthcare GTIN Allocation Rules

GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) provides a unique identification solution for Healthcare Items. When linked with the item’s batch number and expiration date, it can help provide traceability from production to patient delivery.

The English GTIN Allocation Rules for Healthcare has been translated into:

• Dutch GTIN Allocation Rules for Healthcare
• Russian GTIN Allocation Rules for Healthcare
• Serbian GTIN Allocation Rules for Healthcare

GS1 has instituted a policy to prohibit reassignment of GS1 Global Company Prefixes for companies producing and selling "regulated healthcare trade items" (pharmaceuticals or medical devices sold or dispensed in a controlled environment).
