Learn how to calculate the last digit of a barcode number, which ensures the integrity of the key. Use the check digit calculator tool or access the GS1 General Specifications for more information.
Calculate the check digit for numeric fixed-length GS1 Identification (ID) Keys, such as GTIN-8, GTIN-12, GTIN-13, GTIN-14, SSCC and GLN. Learn how the check digit is calculated using a simple algorithm and see examples of manual and automatic calculations.
Learn how to calculate the check digit for different ID key formats, such as GTIN-13, SSCC, and GSIN. Follow the steps to multiply, add, and subtract the values of each position in the number.
Learn what an SSCC is, how it is used to identify logistic units, and what benefits it provides for supply chain efficiency and visibility. The SSCC is a GS1 Identification Key composed of a Company Prefix, a Serial Reference, and a Check Digit.
Calculate the check digit for your barcode number using this online tool. Enter the ID number and choose the number type (GTIN, SSCC or GMN) to get the last digit of your barcode.
GS1 Company Prefix: A 7-9-digit number that appears on your GS1 Prefix Certificate. In the SSCC, these digits identify the entity responsible for assigning the SSCC. Serial Reference: A unique number assigned to each shipping container. Check Digit: A digit that mathematically validates the accuracy of the SSCC.
Learn how to calculate the check digit for barcode numbers using the online tool at http://www.gs1us.org/checkdigit. See the structure and description of different ID keys and their components.
Learn how to calculate a check digit manually for a GTIN-12 (U.P.C.) number using the standard modulo calculation. See an example and a table with the numbering structure and positions.
While the Luhn algorithm is a specific method of manually calculating check digits, certain sites, like GS1, host calculators automatically compute digits for a series of identifiers, including the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC), and Global Location Number (GLN).
The Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) is an 18-digit GS1 Identification Key used to identify a logistic unit. The SSCC is different from the GTIN, as the SSCC acts as a license plate to track a shipment of logistics units through the supply chain. The GTIN uniquely identifies trade items (products and services).
