Because of history and technical changes, barcodes can be 8,12,13 or 14 digits. A company that is able to process, store, and communicate information about their products with trading partners using all GTINs, whether 8, 12, 13, or 14 digits, is considered to be GTIN compliant. To be current, a GTIN should be stored in a data base as 14 digits. Companies can become GTIN compliant by expanding the appropriate systems and applications to 14-digits. This will support the GTIN on products at all levels of packaging (consumer, inner packs, multi-packs, cases, and pallets, etc.) It is necessary to become GTIN compliant to take advantage of the benefits of data synchronization using the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN).
