EAN13 Barcode (European Article Numbering)

The European Article Numbering system encodes a 13-digit number into the barcode. This is the international barcode that you see on retail items in the supermarkets. EAN13 is also considered the modern version of UPCA as the 13 digits are designed to be a superset of the 12-digit UPCA.
