To help you make the right decision, GS1 Global website also hosts the "GS1 GTIN Management Decision-Support Tool". It will not only explain the Guiding Principals for making good decisions but also help you decide whether you need to change the GTIN on your product, by simply answering basic questions about your individual situation. You can access the tool using the link below:
