Higher error correction lets the code survive damage and logos, but makes it denser. Auto uses H when a logo is added.

The structure of an EAN-13

The first digits are the GS1 country or company prefix, then your product reference, then the check digit. The prefix shows which GS1 office issued the number, not where the product was made.

Frequently asked questions

What does the first digit mean?

The first two or three digits are the GS1 prefix of the issuing member organization, such as 50 for the UK or 400–440 for Germany.

Can EAN-13 be scanned in the US?

Yes. US retail scanners have read EAN-13 since 2005.
