** For members who have applied before 1 March 2018. For members who applied for Category B after 1 March 2018, they are required to register for a separate Category A membership. They must then decide if they wish to maintain their Category B membership.
Applicable to companies who are already GS1 Malaysia members but require a smaller barcode subset due to products with a footprint too small for conventional EAN-13 barcode symbols.
The fee is RM250.00 per GTIN-8. As of 18 December 2018, your annual subscription fees will be increased by an amount equal to the price of each GTIN-8 number requested.
Universal Product Code (UPC) Application
Kindly take note that there is a difference between UPC barcode numbers and standard GS1 barcode numbers. The standard GS1 barcode number consists of 13 digits, hence it is called GTIN-13 or EAN code, while the UPC barcode number consists of 12 digits, hence it is called GTIN-12 or UPC Code. Both are issued by GS1.
Standard GS1 GTIN-13 numbers are commonly used worldwide while the UPC barcode is commonly used in the USA and Canada only. This is can be due to legacy hardware/software or logistical reasons. Take note that your local trading partner at those countries will most likely refer to any barcode as UPC Code or just UPC.
As most currently available barcode hardware/software are already compatible with GS1 barcode numbers, we would kindly suggest that you check with your trading partner if they can accept GTIN-13 or EAN barcodes as you should already have those available.
If you still require the UPC barcodes, please note that you need to register as a GS1 Malaysia member first before you can apply for UPC barcodes through GS1 Malaysia. Kindly note that you will need to make an additional fee payment of RM 950.00 for the UPC barcode application on top of the initial membership fees for the UPC barcode application. Kindly contact GS1 Malaysia for further information.
A Global Location Number (GLN) is used to uniquely identify a location. It uses a 13-digit GTIN number to do so. To apply, kindly refer to the links below:
