EAN-18 / NVE / SSCC-18

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.
