The last digit of a GS1 identification key is a check digit that verifies if the barcode is composed correctly.
Use the below calculation model to calculate the check digit. You can also calculate them manually.
Don't forget to upload your GTINs in My Product Manager after calculating your check digit. This way it can be shared with the data recipients. Please contact us if you need more information >
