Calculate check digit quickly and easily
The check digit serves to secure the recorded data. It ensures that the data has been read in without errors. An incorrect check digit can result in costly corrections.
The check digit is the last digit of the GTIN (formerly EAN), GLN or SSCC. It is calculated from the front digits and ensures the correctness of the GTIN (or GLN, or SSCC).
