Selling online? You'll need a product identifier from GS1 Australia
Amazon has confirmed it checks to ensure that all GTINs (UPCs) loaded into it's system are authentic barcodes from GS1. It makes the following statement in its seller central area.
"We verify the authenticity of product UPCs by checking the GS1 database. UPCs that do not match the information provided by GS1 will be considered invalid. We recommend obtaining your UPCs directly from GS1 (and not from other third parties selling UPC licences) to ensure that the appropriate information is reflected in the GS1 database."
If you're selling online, through marketplaces like Alibaba, Amazon, eBay and Google shopping, you'll be asked for a unique product identifier. They may call it barcode number, a GTIN, a UPC or an EAN number. They are all pretty much the same thing. They are a unique number for your product, anywhere in the world. To get one, or as many as you need, all you need to do is join GS1 Australia to start assigning numbers to your products.
Unique identification for your industry
Barcodes and unique identification play a role in industries other than retail.
In Healthcare, implementing the GS1 system assists in increasing patient safety, authenticating medicines and devices, improves traceability and supports clinical process.
For Rail, Construction, Freight and Logistics the use of unique identification aims is to improve the efficiency, security and visibility of stakeholders' supply chains, locally and globally, through the implementation of the GS1 system.
