TINL

A special TIN is a TIN assigned by tango.info or a tango.info-authorised parties for the purpose of identifiying an item having no known GTIN (e.g. a music album having no barcode).

Special TINs are in the GTIN range 0200 - 0299, defined by the GTIN standards organisation GS1 as Restricted distribution (GS1 MO defined) where MO means [national] member organisation. tango.info considers this range to be acceptable for use in TIN because the GTIN authority has designated them 'not for international use'. Currently the only GS1 numbers used by tango.info are in the 0248 range.

For a list containing many tango.info-assigned special TINs, see http://eng.tango.info/search?q=0248. This search matches the embedded term, so may contain some false positives. It is not known if this list contains all tango.info-assigned special TINs. As of 2008-03-29 it contains no special TINs assigned by other parties.
