The Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) is an identifier for trade items, developed by the international organization GS1. [1] Such identifiers are used to look up product information in a database (often by entering the number through a barcode scanner pointed at an actual product) which may belong to a retailer, manufacturer, collector, researcher, or other entity.

GS1 is a not-for-profit, international organization developing and maintaining its own standards for barcodes and the corresponding issue company prefixes.The best known of these standards is the barcode, a symbol printed on products that can be scanned electronically.
They are also used with the prefix "CH-" as ISO 3166-2 codes of Switzerland, e.g. CH-SZ for the canton of Schwyz. SFSO also uses a numerical code ordering the cantons by their constitutional order (1 to 26). The FIPS 10-4 region codes of Switzerland were used by the United States government. This standard was withdrawn in 2008.
