EAN India - Objective
• Create awareness on applications & benefits of using EAN standards :- For enhanced productivity & higher competitiveness
- For compliance with international best practices
- In EDI/EC
• Promote EAN use amongst solution providers, system integrators etc.
• Operate as a national focal point for EAN International’s activities.
• Provide host of EAN related services to members.
• Keep Indian industry informed of related new emerging technologies
EAN India - International Affiliation
• Affiliated to EAN International, Belgium controlling 97 EAN organizations worldwide
• Over 900,000 companies use EAN.UCC standards worldwide
• EAN International works closely with Standards Committees on EDI, Barcoding, ECR etc.
Barcoding
Barcoding provides the means for automatic data capture of information. When used with int’l numbering standards, it permits universal and unique identification of goods, services, assets etc.
TYPES OF BARCODES
• Linear Barcodes
• Two-Dimensional (2D) Barcodes
Int’l Numbering System & Barcodes - Concept
WHY BARCODES ? * To enable data capture
- Once only (at point of manufacture) in the supply chain.
- For 100% accuracy and high speed.
- Easy integration with in-house software applications.
- Generation of automated billing, packing lists, delivery challans etc.
- Effective product track & trace
- Faster customer turn around at points of sale
HOW IS A BARCODE USED?
•
• Downloading of data from the Portable Data Terminal (PDT), onto the computer
Mobile data collection using Portable Data Terminal
•Mobile Radio-Frequency based on-line data collection
HOW IS A BARCODE USED?•Mobile, Batch mode data collection
Key drivers for barcoding and anticipated benefits•Barcoding is international practice for past 25 years and there is increasing demand from overseas
buyers for accepting only barcoded supplies.
•Product track & trace requirements enabling product recall (if required for expired drugs,
defective/spurious goods, etc.)
•Global demand for efficient and automated supply chains for product movement from point of
manufacture to its point of sale/consumption.
•Just – in – time monitoring requirements of product stock levels (to avoid over stock/under
stocks) of essential items (pharma, drugs, food products, etc).
•Cost pressures to reduce end product prices to consumers thru reduction in supply chain costs.
•Requirement for accuracy/speed in facilitating movement of goods thru automatic data capture
(by barcoding).
Key drivers for barcoding and anticipated benefits
•Global requirement of electronic communication (thru EDI etc.) of information on
exported/imported items in import–export trade infrastructure (Ports, Customs/ Buyers/
Suppliers/Banks/Freight forwarders, etc.) require automatic data capture thru barcoding
as key enabler.
•Elimination of wastages in supply chains due to efficient processes.
•Global movement towards closer integration of suppliers and buyers worldwide and
global requirement for lowering end product costs. Indian exporters need to integrate
with international best practices (barcoding, EDI etc) or get isolated in international
trade in coming years.
- Distribution (Product track and trace, information flow)
- Marketing (Sales forecasting based on consumption)
- Manufacturing (Inventory control, raw material procurement, work-in- progress, dynamic production scheduling)
- Customer Satisfaction (Low product prices, quick replenishment, faster
checkouts)
- Exports - In line with buyers requirements, int’l best practices.
- Product track and trace
Int’l Numbering Stds. - Diverse and Innovative Applications
Using Int’l Numbering System with barcodes
Permits global identification of goods/services at three levels
- Retail (consumer packs)
- Trade (cartons)
- Logistics (containers, pallets)
One int’l standard – multiple applications
Retail items - EAN-13
890 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0
EAN prefix Prod no. CD• EAN Prefix indicates
- the country of EAN membership
- EAN member’s identity
• Prod. No. : Item identity allocated by manufacturer/importer
• Check digit: Calculated from all preceding digits

Trade Units - EAN-128
EAN-14 Date Batch no
Logistics unit – SSCC• Serial Shipping Container Code or EAN - 128 - Unique number assigned
to a Logistics Unit
• Enables Asset Tracking
– Serial Identification, Tracking and Tracing of containers
• Enables Efficient Shipment Routing by carriers
• Enables Efficient Receiving, Storage and Despatch processes through
automation
• Major freight forwarders in Europe have standardised on use of SSCC
numbering for universal and unique consignment level identification for
goods in transit.

Int’l Numbering Stds. - Diverse and Innovative Applications
Usage of Barcoding in India – current status
•Automobile Industry–for inventory management/ track & trace/production
scheduling.
•FMCG Industry – for inventory management/track & trace/production
scheduling.
•Readymade garments Industry – for inventory management/track &
trace/production scheduling.
•Pharmaceutical Industry – for inventory management / track &
trace/production scheduling.
•Retail Industry – FMCG, Apparel, Grocery, etc.
•Exports (on buyers directives)
•Healthcare (hospitals etc)
•Alcoholic beverages (State Excise retail vends, etc )
•Canteen Stores Department (Min. of Defence).
Availability status of Technology and ease of implementation
in India.
• Barcoding companies ( Hardware /Software suppliers) are available across the
country.
•Generally easy to implement barcoding (through printing on product packaging,
labels, tags, etc).
•Low cost of implementation (depending on requirement) for just labeling (less than
one rupee/label onwards), printing on product packaging to acquiring hardware
( barcode printers etc, for high end applications).
•Easy availability of international numbering standards used in barcoding (thru EAN
India – a non profit organization promoted by Ministry of Commerce – Indian
Industry) and availability of technical guidance on implementation.
GEPIR Project – To facilitate master data alignment of product information through interconnected electronic catalogues.
Global Initiatives on E-procurement
Specific Advantage to SMEs to use GEPIR
The same EAN/ UPC company prefix provides the SME a link internationally with global buyers / sellers and access more trade opportunities in addition to the supply chain benefits of EAN/ UPC barcoding.
Objective of the project
• Integration of “subscriber database of EAN India” to GEPIR(Global EAN-UCC Party Information Register) Network.
• facilitate the search (based on different criteria) of EAN India database from GEPIR Network sites. And alternatively search of GEPIR Network sites’ database from EAN India site

Search Request Type and Implementation
• Facilitates the search on Indian companies’ catalogues based on:– the GTIN or SSCC– Global Location Number– Company Name– Company Prefix– Product Categories
EAN.UCC credentials
• Standards in line with ISO 15394• Cross-linking of NATO NSNs with EAN numbers• India
– National IT Task Force recommendation no. 82 – EC/ EDI Council of India, MoC, GOI has declared
EAN standards as National stds. for EDI and barcoding
– Financial Assistance for registration provided by APEDA, MPEDA, Spices Board
– Registration subsidy for SSI and Tiny Sector
