Frequently asked questions

When should I use EAN-8 instead of EAN-13?

Only when your GS1 registrar has specifically issued you an EAN-8 number for small packaging — it's a restricted, separately allocated number space, not a shortcut around EAN-13.

Is the checksum calculation the same as EAN-13?

Yes — both use the same modulo-10 weighted checksum algorithm, just over a shorter digit sequence.
