EAN-13 European Products Barcode FAQ
Do all European countries use EAN-13?
Yes. EAN-13 is the universal retail barcode standard across all EU countries and most of the world. Country prefixes identify the GS1 organization but not the product origin.
What do different EAN-13 country prefix codes mean?
The first 2-3 digits of an EAN-13 indicate the GS1 member organization, not the country of origin. For example, 40-44 is Germany, 30-37 is France, 890 is India.
Do I need a separate GS1 registration for each European country?
No. A single GS1 company prefix (from any GS1 national organization) is valid globally including all European countries.
