Historisk

GS1 skiftede fra navnet EAN International-Uniform Code Council (EAN-UCC) i 2005.^[1] EAN-UCC blev til i 2002 da den amerikanske organisation Uniform Code Council blev medlem af EAN International.^[2]

EAN International skiftede fra European Article Number Association, da EAN fik medlemmer udenfor Europa og foreningen ændrede derfor navn.

European Article Number Association (forkortelse EAN) var en forening, som blev stiftet i 1977 af handels- og industribedrifter i 12 europæiske lande.
