About this Barcode...
European Article Numbering system or EAN is the standard for article numbering in Europe. It is also used in Japan where it is called JAN.
Note: EAN is the European equivalent of the UPC system in the U.S.A. and
Canada. Both systems use the same size requirements and a similar encoding scheme. This
means that most European and American retail barcode scanners can read both EAN and UPC
barcodes. For more information on UPC, see UPC-A.
An EAN 13 is a numeric barcode of thirteen digits, and can have two or five additional digits.
