UPC/EAN Barcode Validator

UPC (Universal Product Code) and EAN (European Article Number) are standardized barcodes used to identify products in stores and e-commerce, such as sneakers, books, electronics, and drinks. They are essential for inventory management, pricing, and tracking sales.

UPC is widely used in the United States and Canada, while EAN is used in Europe and other countries. Both UPC and EAN codes are unique to each product and help retailers and manufacturers manage their inventory efficiently.

The UPC/EAN Validator can validate various types of codes, including:

• UPC-A: 12-digit Universal Product Code used in the United States and Canada.
• EAN-8: 8-digit European Article Number used for small products.
• EAN-13: 13-digit European Article Number used globally.
• UPC-E: 6-digit Universal Product Code with an optional 2-digit extension (both in its expanded and not expanded form).
• ISBN-13: 13-digit International Standard Book Number used for books.
• ISRC: 12-character International Standard Recording Code used for music and audiovisual works.
• ITF-14: 14-digit Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode used for packaging and shipping.

To use the UPC/EAN Validator, choose whether to validate a single UPC/EAN or multiple UPC/EANs in bulk.

If you're validating a single UPC/EAN, enter the code in the input field and you will automatically get the validation result.

For bulk validation, enter multiple UPC/EANs separated by commas, semicolons, or line breaks. Click the 'Validate' button to check all the codes at once.

The UPC/EAN Validator uses a check digit algorithm to validate UPC and EAN codes. This algorithm checks the structure of the code and verifies that it meets the requirements for a valid UPC or EAN.

However, note that the actual existence of a product with that UPC or EAN code is not verified by this tool. It only checks the format and structure of the code.

No. The UPC/EAN Validator does not provide detailed product or manufacturer information based on the UPC or EAN code. It focuses on validating the code itself based on the check digit algorithm.

If you need to find additional information about a product or manufacturer based on a UPC or EAN code, you may need to use other resources or databases. More information on available resources and databases can be found at the CheckBarcode.com website.

Among others, the UPC/EAN Validator is ideal for:

1. 1. Verifying product information: Ensure that UPC and EAN codes are correct before adding products to your inventory or point-of-sale system.
2. 2. Preventing errors: Avoid issues like mislabeled products or incorrect pricing due to invalid UPC or EAN codes.
3. 3. Cleaning up data: Validate UPC and EAN codes in bulk to clean up databases, CRM and ERP data, Excel spreadsheets, or other lists containing product information.
4. 4. Compliance: Ensure that UPC and EAN codes meet the required format for retail and inventory management.
