When compiling commodity identification codes, the following basic principles should be observed. 4.4.1 Principle of uniqueness
GB 12904-2003
4.4.1.1 The same commodity identification code should be assigned to commodities of the same commodity item. Commodities with similar basic characteristics are regarded as the same commodity item, and commodities with different basic characteristics are regarded as different commodity items. Note: The basic characteristics of commodities mainly include commodity name, trademark, type, specification, number, packaging type, etc. 4.4.1.2 Different commodity identification codes should be assigned to commodities of different commodity items. 4.4.2 Principle of meaninglessness
Each digit in the commodity identification code does not represent any specific information related to the commodity. 4.4.3 Principle of stability
Once a commodity identification code is assigned, it should remain unchanged if the basic characteristics of the commodity have not changed. 5 Symbol structure

7.1.5 Dimensions of characters for human identification
When the magnification factor is 1.00, the height of the characters for human identification is 2.75mm.7 .1.6 Symbol size of EAN-13 product barcode When the magnification factor is 1.00, the symbol size of EAN-13 product barcode is shown in Figure 12. 7.1.7 Symbol size of EAN-8 product barcode When the magnification factor is 1.00, the size of EAN-8 product barcode is shown in Figure 13. 7.1.8 Symbol size and magnification factor
The magnification factor of the product barcode is 0.80~2.00, and the barcode symbol is enlarged or reduced with the change of the magnification factor. Since the shortening of the bar height will affect the reading of the barcode symbol, the bar height should not be shortened at will. The module width corresponding to different magnification factors and the main dimensions of the EAN product barcode are shown in Table 5.1 Binary representation of commodity barcode character set The commodity barcode character set includes subset A, subset B and subset C. Each barcode character consists of 2 "bars" and 2 "spaces". Each "bar" or "space" consists of 1 to 4 modules, and the total number of modules for each barcode character is 7. The module of "bar" is represented by binary "1", and the module of "space" is represented by binary "0", as shown in Figure 7. The barcode character set can represent a total of 10 digital characters from 0 to 9. The binary representation of the commodity barcode character set is shown in Table 1 and Figure 8.

Example: Determine the binary representation of the left data symbol of an EAN/UCC-13 code 6901234567892. GB12904—2003
Step 1: According to Table 2, it can be found that the commodity bar code character set selected for the left data symbol with the prefix "6" is arranged in sequence as ABBBAA.
Step 2: According to Table 1, it can be found that the binary representation of the left data symbol "901234\" is shown in Table 3. Table 2 Selection rules of the left data symbol commodity bar code character set EAN-13 left data symbol commodity bar code character set Prefix code value
