EAN

The most important areas of application for EAN barcodes are retail, distribution, and warehousing. The EAN – short for European Article Number – is used to identify individual products, which can then be linked to quantities or prices in the store’s database. Since they can only store a limited amount of data, EAN codes are not suitable for the kind of complex information seen in ticketing or parcel shipping.

  • Used worldwide despite the name, except for North America, which uses the UPC standard
  • Stores either 13 or 8 digits (EAN-13 vs. EAN-8), which encode a GTIN (Global Trade Identification Number)
  • The last digit is a mod10 checksum
  • EAN codes are defined as GS1 standards

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EAN barcode?

EAN barcodes encode article numbers. Initially, they stored only "European Article Numbers" (EANs). From 2009 onwards, EAN codes are also used to store GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers).

Is an EAN the same as a barcode?

EAN stands for "European Article Number" and is used to assign all European products with individual article numbers. The EAN barcode is used to encode these numbers.

How do I find the EAN of a product?

A product's EAN can usually be found on its packaging, often in the back.
