2.1.5.3 UPC / EAN

The UPC (U

NIVERSAL PRODUCT CODE) is used for food and consumer goods in the USA and Can-

ada. It can be compared with the European EAN. The UPC is a numeric code with 12 digits

(UPC A) or with 6 digits (UPC E). The last digit is the check-digit.

Fig. 2-8: UPC example

The EAN (EUROPEAN ARTICLE NUMBERING) is used for labelling food and consumer goods in Eu-

rope. It can be compared with the American UPC. The first two numbers indicate the country

code, the following numbers the manufacturer and the article. The EAN code is a numeric

code with 13 or 8 digits. The last two digits are always used as check-digits.

Fig. 2-9: EAN 13 example

The UPC A is compatible with EAN 13: If EAN 13 is printed with a 0 (zero) as the first digit,

this code has the same bar sequence as the UPC A code. This type of code is decoded as a

UPC A code in the evaluation routine of the EAN 13 and the UPC A. The scanner only de-

codes this 12-digit code as UPC A if UPC A or UPC A and EAN 13 have been activated. The

code is only interpreted as EAN 13 with a leading zero if EAN 13 has been activated.
