Is the EAN number a serial number?
No, the EAN number isn’t a serial number, it is a unique identifier for a particular product. No other product in the world has the same EAN number. This number is assigned to the product. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro model has its own EAN number, which is assigned to the model range. But each device individually has its own unique serial number.
What is an EAN number (European Article Number)?
An EAN number is the European barcode standard for encoding product and manufacturer identifiers. It is a variation of the American UPC standard. This is a unique product number that serves to identify a product item in the database of a manufacturing enterprise or store.
What is Ean in chemistry?
EAN = Atomic number ( Z) − Oxidation number + 2 × Coordination number This approach may be used to predict the number of ligands in these compounds as well as the products of their reactions. For example: the EAN of Cobalt ( Co) in [ CO ( NH 3) 6] 3 + can be calculated as: Q. Effective atomic number rule is used to find______.
What is the 18-electron rule?
The EAN rule is often referred to as the “18-electron rule” since, if one counts only valence electrons (6 for Co 3+ and 2 × 6 = 12 for 6 NH 3 ), the total number is 18. The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica This article was most recently revised and updated by Erik Gregersen.
The SSCC-18 (Serial Shipping Container Code) is used throughout the supply chain as an identifier for item tracing and internal control. In Germany this code is called EAN 18/NVE (Nummer der Versandeinheit). It is always 18 digits long:
The first two numbers are the Application Identifier of the EAN-128: (00). You cannot change them. They are part of the code. You must not enter them. ActiveBarcode will add them automatically.
The first digit of the data field is the extension digit. Currently a "3" is standard.
The next 7 digits is the company prefix.
The following 9 digits are the serial reference number.
The last digit is the check digit. ActiveBarcode calculates this check digit for you. You do not have to calculate this number manually.
The SSCC-18 / EAN-18 / NVE is displayed using the symbology of EAN-128. The Application Identifier (00) is added automatically and must not be entered by you.

What is the best barcode to use?
Different industries have standards of barcode types to use. For labeling products in retail EAN and UPC are used. Use ISBN, ISSN & Bookland for books and periodicals. Use UCC-128, EAN-128 or SSCC-18 for labeling shipping boxes. Note that industry standard is not necessarily the same as the barcode symbology. ISBN, ISSN are industry standarts that are based on EAN barcode symbology. UCC-128, EAN-128 and SSCC-18 use Code 128 barcode. In general if the items are to be scanned or sold via retail then the best barcode type to use would be the UPC or EAN barcodes. Consider also the amount of data that you require, if alphanumeric is required then Code 39 or code 128 is the best option. Also consider the size of the items you are barcoding and the system you will be using as 2D barcodes are much smaller but may not be supported by your system or that of your supply chain partne
A Serialized Shipping Container Code or SSCC-18, a 18-digit barcode (preceded by a “(00)”) that is placed on the outside of your shipping container, mastеr carton or pallet, allows you, your distributor, and/or your retailer to uniquely identify, scan, and track each carton or pallet as it moves through the retail chain individually.
Serialized Shipping Container Codes may also be referred to as an Serialized Master Carton Code, SSCC, SSCC-18, GTIN-18, or DUN-18. All these terms describe the same 18-digit barcode which is created in the GS1-128 barcode symbology.

How do Barcodes for Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC-18) work?
Your 18-digit Serialized Master Carton Code, when scanned, identifies a specific container of goods of your company.
The purpose of the Serialized Master Carton Codes (also known as SSCC-18) is to permit your retailer to track (often in real-time) EACH and EVERY pallet (or case, if you do not palletize) that you ship to them.
You will need a different SSCC-18 barcode on every pallet so that a retailer/distributor can know in their computer systems where precisely Pallet 1 is currently as compared to Pallet 2 and perhaps why it has not arrived at the final destination location store yet.
The ending digits of the SSCC-18 perform this serialization function. Pallet 1 might end in 000001x, pallet 2 in 000002x, and so on.
Most of our clients simply pre-purchase a supply of SSCC-18 barcodes to use for their pallet labels for the near future (next quarter, this year, etc.). This way you can simply drop a new SSCC-18 barcode into your pallet label for each shipment as you go.

n what format are my Barcodes for Serialized Pallets & Master Cartons (SSCC-18) created?
For your convenience, you choose your barcode graphic from three different formats so that your graphic artist, printing company, or manufacturing facility can work with your barcode graphic in their preferred software.
EPS Format - This layered, vector EPS file is the preferred format of most graphic designers due to its quality and versatility, particularly for resizing. EPS is an "exchange" format, not necessarily associated with one specific graphics program. An exchange format is one intended for multiple applications to be able to open.
PNG Format - This raster PNG file works well for graphic artists who need a transparent background. This format supports lossless data compression. However, this format is not suitable for significant resizing.
JPEG Format - This uncompressed, high-quality JPEG file is the most common file format. All computers can open a JPEG. However, it is not suitable for resizing.
Can I order only the SSCC-18 Numbers?
Absolutely!
We offer the service of creating you an Excel spreadsheet with a set of ready-to-use SSCC-18 numbers for you pallets or master cartons. We create these in both the 18-digit format in one column and the 20-digit format (with the application identifier) in another so that you have whatever a given retailer or distributor may ask for.
