Hi - we are wanting to update verbiage on some our product labels from Spanish to English only.  Does this require a new GTIN?  I could not find anything this specific on the GTIN Management Standard.  Any help is appreciated - thanks!

Good morning, sometimes we need to recommend you discuss standards questions with GS1 to ensure you do not encounter any issues with your trading partners when you make changes within the context of the GTIN Allocation Rules.  I recommend you call GS1 for that just to be safe.  My understanding that if the product package is printed only in English, and then you produce the exact same product where the entire package is written in a different language, that a new GTIN will be required for the new single-language packaging.
