EAN-13 & EAN-8 Code
The most important areas of application for EAN codes 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.
