Implementing barcodes at primary packaging level b) Generating unique serial number for each primary pack item It is a variable data structure ranging from 1 to 20 characters which can be alpha-numeric to uniquely identify each item of a product variant/SKU/product type. The same is to be generated by the company. It is preceded by Application Identifier (AI) 21. Note: An AI is a prefix code used to identify what kind of information follows it. These identifiers are standardised and recognised worldwide. Schematic representation of unique serial number data structure Application Identifier Serial Number 21 mnop09876 In example above, “mnop09876“ is the unique serial number of the primary pack preceded by AI 21. 6
Implementing barcodes at Primary Packaging level Notes: • It is mandatory to use only GTIN-14 data structure at all packaging levels. GTIN-14 would require to be preceded with Application Identifier (AI) 01 when representing product code alongwith its serial number at the primary packaging level and other attribute information as required. • If GTIN-13 (13 digit GS1 product code) already exists for an SKU/product variant/product type, it can be converted to GTIN-14 by adding 0 as the preceding digit. Example : If GTIN-13 of an existing primary pack is “8901107000011”, to convert to GTIN-14, it would become “08901107000011” • GTIN-14 at primary level will be different from its GTIN-14 at secondary and tertiary levels. 7
