How to find the EAN code of a product. Do you need to verify the existence of an EAN code or do you want to know the EAN code of a particular product? Then read the advice in this guide carefully.
Each product sold in the world is identified by a EAN code (European Article Number), a family of bar codes subject to the specifications of the GS1 (EAN-GTIN) to which about a hundred countries from all over the world adhere.
For those who want to sell on sites like Find prices, Amazon o eBay, you must know that each product in Spain must have an EAN code, a unique code assigned upon request to the international association GS1 which in Spain is represented by Indicod-ECR (where you can also check the existence of a product code).
To make the request it is necessary to fill in a form and pay a registration fee and an annual fee. The sums to be paid are proportionate to the number of items and the size of the company.
Once this practice is completed, you will get a code that will identify your company and your products. There are also several companies that resell unique EAN codes at lower prices by avoiding registration in the register of producers. These are certified companies that have purchased code packs for resale.
