Standard for Trade Item Information | Logistic information for building, electrical, HVAC and plumbing sectors
Identify
Globally unique identification keys provide a
system of numbers to identify goods, services,
assets and locations throughout the value chain.
Capture
GS1 barcodes are scanned more than 5 billion
times a day globally. Automatic data capture
connects the data in a barcode or an RFID-tag
to information held in a database.
Share
Sharing information in a standardised way
means information systems can communicate
effectively with each other. It enables efficient
processes across company boundaries.

Standard for Trade Item Information | Logistic information for building, electrical, HVAC and plumbing sectors
1. Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide a common platform for logistic information for the building, electrical, HVAC and plumbing sectors using GS1’s international
standard for trade item information, “GDSN Trade Item”. The document has been
prepared by GS1 Sweden in collaboration with Logiq/Finfo, Svenska Rörgrossistföreningen VVS, the Swedish Electrical Wholesalers Federation and the Association
of Swedish Building Materials and Hardware Merchants through project Vilma.
The document starts with a list of attributes which the building, electrical,
HVAC and plumbing sectors have agreed constitute logistic information. This is
followed by an analysis and clarification of some of these attributes. Further
information about GS1’s standard for Trade Item Information can be found at
www.gs1.se/en/GS1-in-practice/Trade-Item-Information.

3. Trade item identification
The Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) provides globally unique identification for
each individual package. The building, electrical, HVAC and plumbing sectors
historically use article numbers allocated by their respective sector. This means that
the same package can have a GTIN and one or more sector-specific article numbers.
An item can even be numbered with an article number allocated by the supplier or
manufacturer.
3.1 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)
Throughout this document the term trade item is used
according to GS1’s definition: “A 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.” The definition covers items
and services from raw materials to finished product all
of which have pre-defined attributes.
The Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) 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.
Every item which differs from another item intentionally by design and/or content must be given a unique
item number. This means that every level in an article
hierarchy must have a unique GTIN.
When an item is identified with a GTIN it gets a
globally unique trade item number which is never the
same as an item number from another supplier. This
means that two items can never be confused which
simplifies ordering and, for example, production of
sales statistics.

3.2 Sector-specific article number
The building, electrical, HVAC and plumbing sectors have three databases which allocate article numbers
for retail items distributed in part through wholesalers in Sweden. One and the same item can have several
sector-specific numbers.
• E-number – The item number according to the Swedish Electrical Wholesalers Federation’s (SEG)
numbering system. Read more about E-numbers at http://www.seg.se/sv/E-nummerbanken/
• RSK-number – The item number in the RSK database, a Swedish product catalogue for HVAC and
plumbing items. Read more about RSK numbers at http://www.rskdatabasen.se/
• Finfo-number – The item number in the Finfo database, a Swedish product catalogue for building
materials. Read more about Finfo numbers at http://www2.finfo.se/
The table gives examples of how an item hierarchy is numbered with E-numbers,
RSK-numbers and Finfo-numbers.

4. Trade item levels
When trade takes place between a supplier and a buyer (e.g. manufacturer and
wholesaler), the buyer needs information about all trade items and the relation
between items that are contained in others. This relation is described by specifying
at which level in a hierarchy the item occurs. A trade item can be at three different
levels, base (or each), case and pallet.
COA
HAR L
GLUE

The base level is the lowest in a hierarchy. An item at
the base level contains no items identified with a GTIN
(children). A trade item at the base level is always contained in another item (parent) which can be a case
or a pallet. Examples of an item at the base level are a
bag of charcoal or a bottle of glue.
A trade item hierarchy can include several items at
the base level, for example a multipack or co-packed
items containing different products, or if the hierarchy
describes a mixed display unit.
C
4.1 Base level
Examples of items at base level.
4.2 Case level
The case level is the middle level in a trade item hierarchy. A trade item at case level contains other items
(children) and is itself contained in an item (parent).
A trade item at case level can contain other items at
base level or other items at case level. An example of
an item at case level is a box with 6 bottles of glue or
a package with 10 shrink-wrapped planks. There can
be several case levels in a trade item hierarchy.
Sometimes the case level is not used, for example if
the base unit is large. An example is bags of charcoal,
where the pallet is displayed directly in the store.

4.3 Pallet level
The pallet level is the highest in a trade item hierarchy.
A trade item at pallet level contains other items
(children) but is not itself contained in another item.
It is not necessary for every item hierarchy to include
an item at pallet level. Pallet level is only used when
a top level is present in the hierarchy. Examples of
a trade item at pallet level are a pallet with boxes of
screws or a drum of electrical cable.

6. Trade item hierarchies
Trade Item Information describes a complete trade item hierarchy. This means
specifying every item contained at the base, case and pallet levels as well as the
relation between these. For each item at the pallet and case levels the item
contained at the next lower level of the hierarchy must be specified.
6.1 Trade item hierarchy, example 1
6.2 Trade item hierarchy, 2
A consumer unit is a trade item intended for
sale to a consumer or end-user.
A box of hammers.
• Hammer (GTIN 1), 16 pieces
• Car shampoo (GTIN 1), 1 piece
• Car wax (GTIN 2), 1 piece
• Sponge (GTIN 3), 2 pieces
The trade item hierarchy for this homogenous
case is described as follows:
For the outer package the trade item hierarchy is
specified as follows in the groups Package hierarchy
and Trade item hierarchy.
6.1.1 Package hierarchy
6.2.1 Package hierarchy
Quantity of children = 1 (GTIN 1)
Total quantity of next lower level trade item = 16
6.2.2 Trade item hierarchy
Quantity of children = 3 (GTIN 1 + GTIN 2 + GTIN 3)
Total quantity of next lower level trade item
= 4 (1 + 1 + 2)
Included item or service, GTIN = GTIN 1
Number of units included = 16
6.1.2 Trade item hierarchy
Included item or service, GTIN = GTIN 1
Number of units included = 1
Included item or service, GTIN = GTIN 2
Number of units included = 1
Included item or service, GTIN = GTIN 3
Number of units included = 2

7. Trade item status
A trade item can have a number of attributes related to how it is intended to be
sold and distributed at various stages of the supply chain. Every trade item can
have the attributes consumer unit, orderable unit or logistic unit.
7.1 Consumer unit
7.3 Despatch unit
A consumer unit is a trade item intended for sale
to a consumer or end-user.
A despatch unit is that trade item, usually a pallet,
which is physically delivered from the supplier to the
customer. There must always be at least one item in
a hierarchy that is a despatch unit. Usually the trade
item at the pallet level is the despatch unit.
Note that the same trade item can have several
of these attributes:
An item that is a consumer unit can also be
orderable (for physically large consumer units there
is sometimes no item at case level).
An orderable unit can also be a despatch unit
(e.g. a display pallet).
7.2 Orderable unit
An orderable unit is a trade item that is ordered from
a supplier by a wholesaler, store or similar. Every trade
item hierarchy has an orderable unit. (In certain exceptional cases there can be several orderable units in the
same hierarchy).
