Check a barcode

Enter an EAN-13, UPC-A, EAN-8 or GTIN-14 number.

Validation runs in your browser. The owner record is shown by GS1's official "Verified by GS1" service.

What the barcode check tells you

Check digit

The last digit of every EAN / UPC is calculated from the others. A wrong check digit means a typing error or an invalid barcode that will not scan at retail.

Country prefix

The first 3 digits show which GS1 member organisation issued the number - 890 is GS1 India. It tells you where the company registered, not where the product was made.

Registered owner

"Verified by GS1" shows the company the GS1 prefix is licensed to. If it shows another company or nothing, the barcode is not yours - retailers may reject it.

Barcode registration - FAQ

How do I check if a barcode is registered?

Enter the 13-digit (EAN-13), 12-digit (UPC-A) or 14-digit (GTIN-14) number in the checker above. It validates the check digit and shows the GS1 country prefix. For the official owner record, open "Verified by GS1" from the result - it shows the company the number is licensed to. Barcodes starting with 890 are issued by GS1 India.

Can I buy cheap barcodes from a reseller instead of GS1 India?

Resold numbers are registered to someone else, so they fail "Verified by GS1" checks. Amazon, Flipkart, Reliance, DMart, export buyers and modern retail chains increasingly reject them. Register directly with GS1 India so the company prefix is in your own name.

What documents are needed for GS1 India barcode registration?

GST certificate, PAN of the company, a cancelled cheque or bank details, last year turnover (CA certificate / ITR for larger slabs) and a signed application on letterhead. We prepare the full set and the product classification for you.

How long does GS1 registration take?

Usually 7 to 10 working days after complete documents and payment reach GS1 India. You then receive your GS1 Company Prefix and can start allotting GTINs to products.

How many barcodes do I need?

One GTIN for every unique product variant - each size, colour, flavour, pack size and case pack needs its own number. Most small brands start with 100; manufacturers with many SKUs choose 1,000 or 10,000.

Do you also print the barcode labels?

Yes. Mindware - Indian Barcode Corporation makes barcode labels, RFID tags and ribbons in-house and supplies barcode printers, scanners and verifiers, so your labels scan first time at retail.
