Convert EAN-8 to EAN-13


I have an 8 digit EAN code which I would like to convert to an EAN-13 code.
Do you know of any algorithm on how to calculate this?

Or is it simply adding five zeros to the beginning of the EAN-8?
E.g. EAN-8(1234 5678) becomes EAN-13(00000 1234 5678)?


Solution

  • EAN-8 is a short version of EAN-13, composed by 7 digits and 1 check digit.

    There is no conversion available between EAN-8 and EAN-13 sorry :(
