Why do I need to provide product information to create a GS1 GTIN™?

Your product information will be added to the GS1 global database and shared with retailers and marketplaces around the world. Marketplaces and retailers want a trusted and reliable source of certain company and product information. They also want to ensure that the numbers they use in their systems are truly unique and follow GS1 standards. The information YOU provide about YOUR product can be trusted by marketplaces. GS1 offers a service called Verified by GS1 that gives marketplaces and retailers access to a global GS1 database with information about every item that has been given a GS1 GTIN™. By getting that information directly from you, we aim to ensure that the global GS1 database is accurate and reliable. • Learn more about Verified by GS1 service: gs1za.org/solutions/verified/
