GS1 - EAN and UCC barcodes

EAN International (European Article Numbering International) and the United States UCC (Uniform Coding Council) have agreed on common barcoding standards. The organizations have combined under the common name of GS1.

Two of the standard barcode types have been renames (EAN/UCC 128 has become GS1-128 and RSS has become GS1-Databar). However, other standard types may appear under different names. Thus EAN-14 is the same as UCC-14, and may be referred to as EAN/UCC-14, and similarly for EAN-13 and EAN-8.
