EAN/Barcode
International Article Number (EAN)
The International Article Number (EAN) is a unique 13-digit number used to identify products. This field is mandatory for all categories and must be completed in the corresponding field. Each individual product requires a unique EAN. No EAN should be assigned to more than one (1) product and no product with identical characteristics should have more than one (1) EAN.
All relevant codes (EAN/BARCODE) must correspond to the official codes of the respective manufacturer and not to custom coding. The use of random numbers as EANs is not allowed, as this practice leads to the immediate exclusion of products from categorization.
