6.1.30 DUN-14
The DUN-14 (Distribution Unit Number) is not a barcode type. It's a numbering system for shipping
containers. The DUN-14 uses the ITF-14 or the EAN-14 barcode symbols. Modern installations
always use the EAN-14 (EAN-128) to encode the DUN-14.
The DUN-14 encodes the following data:
 The first digit represents the number of units in the container: 1=6 units, 2=10 units, 3=12
units, 4=20 units, 5=24 units. (The digits 6,7 and 8 are standing for other numbers of units.)
 The next 12 digits are representing the product number. In general this is the EAN-13
number without check digit.
 The last digit is the check digit.
6.1.31 DUNS
This is not a barcode standard. DUNS is a nine-digit number assigned and maintained by Dun and
Bradstreet to identify unique business establishments. DUNS numbers are assigned worldwide and
include US, Canadian, and international organizations.
