This means that the same package can have both a GTIN and one or more industry specific item numbers. An item can also be numbered with an item number allocated by the supplier or manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-1-global-trade-item-number-gtin\">3.1 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout this document the term trade item is used according to GS1\u2019s definition: \u201cA trade item is any item (product or service) upon which there is a need to retrieve pre-defined information and that may be priced, ordered, or invoiced between trading partners at any point in the supply chain.\u201d The definition covers items and services from raw materials to finished products all of which have pre-defined attributes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/gs1.se\/en\/standards-and-services\/global-trade-item-number-gtin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)<\/a> is used to provide trade items, packages and services with a unique identification. By encoding the GTIN in a barcode, the number can be read with a scanner. The item number can also be used to access further information about the item in a database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each item that differs from another item in terms of design and\/or content shall be given a unique item number. This means that each item level in an item hierarchy should have its own unique GTIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When an item is identified with GTIN, it receives a globally unique trade item number that is never the same as an item number from another supplier. This means that two items cannot be confused with each other, which simplifies ordering and for example, production of sales statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"744\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/gs1.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/doc_logistic_information_gtin.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28840\" style=\"width:847px;height:319px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gs1.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/doc_logistic_information_gtin.png 744w, https:\/\/gs1.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/doc_logistic_information_gtin-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/gs1.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/doc_logistic_information_gtin-640x241.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br><em>Each level in an item hierarchy must have a unique GTIN.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-2-industry-specific-item-number\">3.2 Industry specific item number<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The building, electrical, HVAC and plumbing sectors have three databases that allocate item numbers for retail items distributed in part through wholesalers in Sweden.
