5.12.2 EAN 13 / EAN 8
Description
The EAN code (European Article Numbering), is used for coding
large-scale distribution products in Europe and in other non-European
countries.
The EAN 13/8 code is compatible with the UPC A/E code (used in the
U.S.A. and Canada) from which it comes, and uses numeric characters
only.
EAN 8 is a smaller code used for products whose size is unable to take
an EAN 13 code.
The EAN 13/8 code can be given a 2 or 5-character ADD-ON,
something that is often used in the publishing industry.
