Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is a barcode country code? (Definition)
Barcodes are a sequence of numbers that identify products. The best known barcode is the GTIN (or EAN), certain numbers of which identify the country of origin (the one where the product was registered).
Not all barcodes are GTINs and therefore not all barcodes contain the country code of the product.
How to read a country code from a barcode?
To read a country code in a barcode, extract the first 3 digits to allow the identification of the country of the product.
Example: Codes from 300 to 379 indicate France
What is GS1 global system?
GS1 is an international organization that develops and maintains standards for barcode systems including GTIN/EAN.
GS1 is, among other things, responsible for assigning country codes.
What does 'reserved' mean?
When the barcode country code contains the word reserved, it means that the digit slot is reserved for future use.
This may indicate that new codes will be assigned to new countries in the future or that the location has been reserved for specific uses.
How are country codes assigned?
Country codes are assigned by the GS1 organization to member countries and territories based on their requests and needs.
Do countries share the same code?
Some countries share the same barcode country code, which can sometimes lead to confusion.
Example: United States and Canada share codes 000 to 019
