The European Article Number (also known as EAN) is a Global Trade Item Number standard describing a barcode symbology and numbering system. It's used in global trade to identify a specific retail product type, from a specific manufacturer.
Where do EAN Numbers work?When UPC codes were first introduced in the early 1970’s, they were only intended for use within North America. But as producers overseas began multiplying, a new format was necessary to facilitate sales in Europe. In 2005, a global initiative began, allowing North American retailers to scan both UPC and EAN codes. Because of this, nearly all North American retailers now accept EAN codes. This is why the EAN Code is now formally called the “International Article Number”.How many digits do EANs have?Unlike UPC codes, which have 12 digits, EAN codes have 13 digits. The first 3 digits are the “Country Code” aka: GS1 Prefix, and indicate the GS1 Member Organization where the manufacturer registered the bar codes. This is somewhat related to the region in which the manufacturer operates. The digits after the “country code” prefix are the unique number that is issued to each company.The EAN code closes with the last digit, the Check Digit, which is used to ensure that a bar code has been correctly scanned.EAN or UPC: Which is right for you?One of the best ways to determine whether you need to use EAN codes or UPC codes is to ask your intended retailers which formats they accept. This way, you’ll be certain that the bar code purchase you make is the right one for your sales strategy.
