Our product line consists of project-specific items (in the construction industry). Do these items also require GTINs, and what is the procedure for generating them if required?

Indeed, using a GTIN guarantees the uniqueness of each product in a manner that seamlessly integrates across the entire open value chain. We strongly recommend assigning a GTIN, even for project-specific products like pre-fabricated windows, doors, concrete elements, and more. Doing so allows you to associate essential product information and data with these items. This process ensures your products are uniquely identifiable and easily integrated into the broader supply chain.

Coming soon, we will be publishing documents focusing on more construction product types to give guidance on the practical identification aspects.
