6.3.2 EAN/JAN
The European Article Numbering (EAN) system (also known as International Article Number)
and the Japanese Article Numbering (JAN) system are members of the UPC barcode family.
EAN-13 is used world-wide to automatically identify retail products. In the USA, retail scanning
systems have been required to read EAN-13 since 2005.
The EAN and JAN symbologies are identical, except that JAN uses a country code in the range
of 490 to 499, which indicates that the manufacturer was registered in Japan.
EAN/JAN-13 and EAN/JAN-8 are common product barcode symbologies in the distribution
industry. The 13-digit version is standard, and the 8-digit version is shortened.
