EAN 13

first two or three are a country code which identify the country in
which the manufacturer is registered (not necessarily where the
product is actually made). The country code is followed by 9 or 10
data digits (depending on the length of the country code) and a
single digit checksum. 2-digit and 5-digit supplemental barcodes may
be added for a total of 14 or 17 data digits.
Uses:
EAN-13 is used world-wide for marking retail goods.
