FAQ
EAN-13 vs UPC-A?+
EAN-13 is 13 digits (country + company + product + check). UPC-A is 12 digits (US standard). Korea/Europe/Japan use EAN-13; the US uses UPC-A.
Where do I get a Korean company code (880)?+
GS1 Korea (Korea Distribution & Logistics) issues company prefixes. Required for retail products. Arbitrary numbers are fine for internal use.
Why does the check digit matter?+
It validates scans. Mis-scans are detected because the last digit must match the calculated value. This tool computes it for you.
Is ISBN different?+
ISBN is EAN-13 starting with 978/979. Use the dedicated ISBN tool — it converts ISBN-10 too.
Do I have to start with 880?+
Only for Korean GS1. Other prefixes: Japan 45/49, US 0/1, UK 50, Germany 40–44.
Can I just enter 13 digits directly?+
You can, and the last digit will be validated. Entering 12 digits is easier since the check digit is auto-computed.
