The International Article Number (also known as European Article Number
or EAN) is a barcode symbology used in retail business to specify the
manufacturer and model of a product. EAN-13 and its variation EAN-8, is
the most widely used EAN today.
A 2-digit country code plus a 5-digit
manufacturer code, plus a 5-digit product code, plus a check digit, make
up an EAN13 barcode.
When the leading 2-digit country code is 45 or 49, this barcode is a Japanese Article Number (JAN).
Smaller product packages use the 8-digit EAN8 barcode.
To show manufacturer’s suggested retail price,
people put A 2-digit or 5-digit supplemental barcode to the right
of an EAN13 barcode.
