scope:
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the bar code symbology known as EAN/UPC. It specifies EAN/UPC symbology characteristics, data character encodation, symbol formats, dimensions, tolerances, and a reference decoding algorithm. The major benefit for users of the standard is to refer to uniquely defined identification codes in their trading transactions. This is particularly useful in open environments.
