GTIN
In common parlance, many people know the GTIN as a barcode, but technically the GTIN is the number below the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.

GS1 Denmark is the Danish division of the global standardisation organisation GS1.
Globally, over two million businesses and organizations use GS1 standards and services to increase their efficiency, safety and green development. The benefit for companies affiliated with GS1 is that they have access to globally applicable standards that enable easier access to foreign markets.
In Denmark, we primarily operate within retail, foodservice, healthcare and transport and logistics, where we increase food and patient safety with our standards for traceability and data sharing.
GS1 is a neutral, not-for-profit membership organization. We are owned by our members - the users of GS1 standards and services - who in turn are represented by a Board of Directors consisting of elected members representative of the industries we work in. We are governed by the board, which meets several times a year and at our general meeting, which all members are invited to attend.
There are GS1 offices in 116 countries.
GS1 Denmark identifies, systematizes and exchanges data across products and industries to increase security and coherence in society and pave the way for better lives.
'We increase efficiency and safety through standardization'.
GS1 Denmark is responsible for the dissemination, development and administration of the GS1 standards in accordance with GS1's global rules. We actively participate in the international work in 'GS1 Global' and 'GS1 in Europe' to ensure the interests of GS1 Denmark's members.
GS1 Denmark's board consists of seven representatives from trade and industry organizations in Denmark and two-four representatives elected by the companies that are members of GS1 Denmark. They are elected for one year at a time at GS1 Denmark's general meeting, which takes place in the spring.
GS1 collaborates with a number of international organisations including. ISO, the UN, the World Customs Organisation, the World Health Organisation, ISQua and Danish Standards.
'One of our most important purposes is to manage the GS1 system based on the needs of our members.'
That is why we run several coordinating working- and steering groups in collaboration with a wide range of leading members, including Hørkram, Orkla, Arla, Dagrofa, Coop, Salling Group, P&G, Peter Larsen and many, many more.
