UPCEANstandard is a system used for uniquely identifying retail products. It is a type of barcode symbology that encodes a number of digits. The most common types are UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, and EAN-8. UPC-A, with its 12 digits, is prevalent in North America for point-of-sale scanning. UPC-E is a shortened version of UPC-A, designed for smaller packages. EAN-13, a 13-digit code, is the standard in most countries outside of North America and is compatible with UPC-A. EAN-8 is a shorter version of EAN-13, used for very small items where a full EAN-13 would not fit.

These standards are managed by GS1, a global organization that develops and maintains supply chain standards. The primary function of UPCEANstandard is to provide a unique, globally recognized identifier for each product, facilitating efficient inventory management, sales tracking, and supply chain operations. The digits in the code typically represent a manufacturer's identification number and a product identification number. A check digit is also included to help detect errors during scanning. The use of these standards ensures that each item can be accurately identified and processed throughout the retail and distribution process.
