Considering terminating your membership?

If you are considering terminating your membership, there are a few things you need to ensure you have done before you can resign your membership. All use of our standards, and the numbers that we have provided through your membership, must cease. All barcoded products should be removed from the market, along with any online listings.

We are unable to refund any payments for the part use of your annual membership.  Your membership will remain active until we have received the resignation form that your assigned prefixes have been removed from the supply chain, and you have received confirmation from GS1 Malta that your account has been closed.

Once your account has been closed, we will return all your assigned prefixes to us. As agreed when you became a GS1 Malta member, it is important that you immediately stop using any of the GS1 identifiers and barcodes, since continuing to use them could lead to duplication problems for GS1 Malta members.

For this reason GS1 Malta ,in co-operation with its members, actively monitors all barcodes currently in use and will take action if any barcodes are discovered that appear to meet the General GS1 Specifications, but are not registered with GS1.
