An SSCC identifies a logistics unit such as a pallet or case in transit. Enter 17 digits to add the check digit, or 18 to verify it.
The extension digit, company prefix, and serial reference have to follow your GS1 allocation. This page only checks the final digit.
How to use this tool
- Enter 17 or 18 digits.
- Calculate.
- Store the full 18 digits with the shipment.
Practical guidance
The extension digit, company prefix, and serial reference have to follow your GS1 allocation. This page only checks the final digit.
Checks before you use the output
Do not reuse a serial you have already shipped. The check digit will not catch a duplicate.
Questions and answers
Is an SSCC a product barcode?
No. It identifies a particular logistics unit, not the product type.
Can I generate the serial for myself?
Only inside the company prefix you were allocated. This tool does not allocate one.
What if the check fails?
The number was typed incorrectly. Do not ship on a failed SSCC.
