4.1 Code Structure 4.1.1 13 code structure 4.1.1.1 Composition Consists of vendor identification code, commodity item code, check code three parts of the 13-digit code is divided into four structures, the structure shown in Table 1. Table 1 13-bit code structure Configuration type vendor identification code commodity item code check code A structure X13X12X11X10X9X8X7 X6X5X4X3X2 X1 Structured titanium X13X12X11X10X9X8X7X6 X5X4X3X2 X1 Structure three X13X12X11X10X9X8X7X6X5 X4X3X2 X1 Structure four X13X12X11X10X9X8X7X6X5X4 X3X2 X1 4.1.1.2 Manufacturer Identification Code Vendor identification code consists of 7 to 10 digits, Article Numbering Center of China is responsible for the allocation and management. The first 3-digit code for the vendor identification code prefix code, EAN International has been assigned to the Article Numbering Center of China as a prefix code 690 to 695. EAN International has been assigned to the state (or regional) organizations prefix coding Appendix A. 4.1.1.3 commodity item code Commodity item code consists of 5 to 2 digits, generally prepared by the manufacturer, it may also be responsible for preparing the Article Numbering Center of China. 4.1.1.4 checksum Check code is a number that is used to examine the entire coding right and wrong. Checksum calculation in Appendix B. 4.1.2 8-bit code structure 4.1.2.1 Composition 8-bit code by a prefix code, commodity item code and check code consists of three parts. The structure shown in Table 2. Table 28-bit code structure Prefix commodity item code check code X8X7X6 X5X4X3X2 X1 4.1.2.2 prefix code X8 ~ X6 is a prefix code, EAN International has been assigned to the Article Numbering Center of China's prefix code is 690 to 695. 4.1.2.3 commodity item code X5 ~ X2 is a commodity item code, by four digits, Article Numbering Center of China responsible for the allocation and management. 4.1.2.4 checksum X1 is a check code is a number that is used to examine the entire coding right and wrong. Checksum calculation in Appendix B. 4.1.3 12 code structure 12 code structure, bar, said bar code symbol selection and quality is determined in Appendix C. Note. according to customer requirements, retail merchandise exports to North America may be a 12-bit code. 4.2 Principles of preparation of the code Retail commodity code is a unified whole, it should be applied in the overall commodity circulation process. The preparation of retail commodity code, shall comply with Under basic principles. 4.2.1 The only principle 4.2.1.1 assigned the same commodity same commodity code, the same basic characteristics as the same commodity items. 4.2.1.2 different commodities should be assigned different product codes, the basic characteristics of different commodities as different commodities. Note. Under normal circumstances, the basic characteristics of the goods including trade names, trademarks, type, size, quantity, type of packaging and other product characteristics. Enterprises according to the line Features industry and its own product management demand for the product is assigned a unique product code. 4.2.2 The principle of non-meaning Retail commodity code commodity item code does not indicate the specific commodity-related information. 4.2.3 stability principle Retail commodity code Once assigned, if the basic characteristics of the goods does not change, it should remain unchanged. Preparation 4.3 code 4.3.1 compiled separately packaged single retail commodity code Individually wrapped single retail means alone, can not be divided individually packaged retail merchandise. Preparation of their commodity codes are often 4.1.1 under the 13 code structure. When the packaging of goods is very small, in line with any one of the following three conditions may apply for the use of 4.1.2 prescribed code structure 8. --- 13 Code bar code symbols printed product label area of more than a quarter of the largest surface area or the entire printable area One-eighth of the time; --- The largest surface area of less than 40cm2 product label or all of the printable area of less than 80cm2 time; --- The product itself is a cylinder diameter of less than 3cm. 4.3.2 preparation of compositions packaged retail commodity code 4.3.2.1 preparation of standard packs of retail commodity code Standard packs retail commodity refers to the same standard by a plurality of individual commodity composition of stable combinations of packaged goods. its Preparation of commodity codes are often 13-bit code structure, but not with the same code is contained within a single package goods. 4.3.2.2 preparation of mixed composition packaged retail commodity code Mixed composition packaged retail standards set by means of a plurality of different individual commodity composition of stable combinations of packaged goods. its Preparation Product code usually 13 code structure, but the same code is not contained within the packaging of goods. Preparation 4.3.3 variable retail commodity code Code variables for retail store or inside a closed system of consumer goods unit. Their choice commodity codes can be found GB/T 18283.
