GMN (Global Model Number) is used to identify a product model or product family. With Global Model Number, you can uniquely identify a product model through the entire product life cycle from design to production, procurement, use, maintenance, and removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GMN can be used on products sold in different versions but which are technically the same product, for example, the product may have a different color or size. Another area is medical equipment where GMN meets EU requirements according to EU Unique Device Identification (UDI)<\/a> for identification and marking of medical devices and In-Vitro diagnostics. The brand owner assigns GMN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Certain types of products require information to be shared with trading partners and other stakeholders, for example regulatory authorities, before the product is put into production. There may also be a need to launch different products based on the same technical product specification. Then there may be a need to group them under a same product family with a GMN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Initially, GMN is used to identify product models or product families and medical equipment according to two EU regulations \u2013 Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) AND In-Vitro Diagnostics Regulation (VDR).<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is the benefit of GMN?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
