The usual barcode for us, which is a picture with black and white stripes, can be found on almost any product manufactured in a factory way. The barcode contains information about the country in which the goods were manufactured, about the product itself, and about its manufacturer, often with contact details. Checking and decrypting the barcode with the Internet is a matter of a couple of minutes.

At the end of the last century, a unified information system of the global registry of participants in the GS1 international system (GEPIR) was organized, with the help of which information encrypted in a barcode can be obtained on the Internet. Data is provided free of charge, and you can use the service an unlimited number of times.
