INITIAL DATA QUALITY ATTRIBUTES
Once the GTIN is
shared with a
trading partner – a
change to any of
these attributes,
independent of
which stage in the
product
development
process (Preproduction or
production), will
need to adhere to
the GS1 GTIN
Allocation Rules.
Initial
Attributes
Foundational
Attributes
• Brand Name
• Declared Net
Content /
UOM
• GTIN
• Pack Quantity
Fundamental
Attributes
• Dimensions- Case Level
•
(length/width/height)
• Dimensions - Inner Pack
•
(if shared/applicable)
• Dimensions - Item level
•
A change to any
of these
attributes in the
product preproduction
stage does not
require
adherence to
the GS1 GTIN
Allocation
Rules. Once in
production the
rules will need
to be adhered
to.
(if shared/applicable)
• Ti/Hi
• Country of Origin
• Gross Weight/UOM
*The Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) is considered foundational and will be audited for adherence to the GS1 Standards.
While adherence to the above is mandatory for the audit process – implementation across sectors may be staggered depending
upon the readiness of each sector to implement.
