The
EAN/UPC Add-On Symbols were designed to encode information supplementary to
that in the main barcode symbol on periodicals, hardback, and paperback books.
Because they provide reduced security, use of Add-On Symbols shall be limited
to applications where rules in the application specification governing data
format and content provide appropriate safeguards.
A five-digit Add-On Symbol may be used in specific
applications to accompany an EAN-13, UPC-A, or UPC-E Barcodes. In general, the
five-digit Add-On barcode is positioned following the right Quiet Zone of the
main symbol but can be drawn without requiring the presence of the mail symbol.
