This example demonstrates ITIP (Individual Trade Item Piece) identification for a multi-piece trade item.
A two-piece suit is sold under a single GTIN but consists of two physical pieces (jacket + trousers).
Pattern aligned with GS1 ITIP (AI 8026).
- GS1 Digital Link URI for the parent trade item (the suit set)
- oec:tradeItemPieceCount on the parent product (2 pieces)
- oec:IndividualTradeItemPiece for each constituent piece, each with its own AI 8026 identifier
- GS1 AI 8026 encodes GTIN + total piece count + this piece's number
- All pieces share the same GTIN; individual identification is via piece number

No eutex:hasApparelSubcategory is declared: eutex:ApparelSubcategory is a closed owl:oneOf aligned to dppk:PefcrApparelAccessories, and it has no member for a multi-piece suit set. The value was previously the bare string "Suits", which is not a member of the code list and expanded to a plain literal where an IRI belongs. Adding a member is an EXTENSION-GOVERNANCE decision for the vocabulary owners.
AI 8026 = GTIN (14 digits) + total pieces (2 digits) + piece number (2 digits). Example: 09521000004207 + 02 + 01 for piece 1 of 2.
Pattern status: Reference pattern aligned with GS1 ITIP (AI 8026). May evolve as GS1 standardization settles.
Why ITIP: Apparel sets (suits, uniforms, matching sets), flat-pack furniture with multiple cartons, and bundled electronics (tablet + keyboard + stylus) all benefit from piece-level traceability without requiring separate GTINs per piece. AI 8026 provides a compact, scannable identifier per piece while preserving the single-GTIN commercial model.
DPP implication: For products requiring a Digital Product Passport, ITIP identification enables piece-level lifecycle tracking (e.g., the jacket of a suit can be repaired independently of the trousers) while the DPP itself is scoped at the trade-item level. This matches apparel DPP requirements being scoped for 2027.
