Frequently asked questions

How is the check digit calculated?

Digits are weighted alternately by 3 and 1 from the right, added up, and the check digit is the amount needed to reach the next multiple of 10 (the GS1 method).

Does a valid check digit mean the product number is registered?

No. It only shows the number is correctly formed. Registered numbers come from GS1 or your national GS1 organisation.
