Call-To-Action: GS1 Healthcare – GTIN Allocation Rules for Indicator Digits

The Objective/Scope of the Indicator Digit Rules Work Group is to:

* Record the Use Cases for the application of indicator digits for the marking and labeling of healthcare products in the global healthcare supply chain. For this Call To Action the supply chain starts at the manufacturer of the healthcare product and ends at the point of patient care. Healthcare products within the scope of work include: Vaccines, Biologicals, Therapeutic Nutritionals, Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Instruments and Implants. 

* Establish rules for indicator digits. GTIN Allocation Rules for Healthcare will be developed for incorporation into the GS1 General Specification to define the rules for the use of indicator digits for healthcare products.

* Create a General Specification Change Notice (GSCN) for the enhancement of the GS1 General Specification. The GSCN is the approved document to be developed, approved and ratified. GSCN’s are the recognized standard until incorporated into the GS1 General Specification during the annual publication cycle.
