ITPEC IP October 2023 — Question 73 of 100
ISBN is the International Standard Book Number used to identify a particular book publication or edition. Modern ISBNs contain 13 digits organized into prefix, registration-group, registrant, publication, and check-digit elements. The identifier supports publishing, ordering, cataloging, and inventory processes.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) EAN is a family of article-numbering identifiers used broadly for retail goods
- (c) ITF is a barcode symbology, commonly Interleaved 2 of 5
- (d) UPC is a product identifier and barcode system widely used in retail
Key rule: ISBN identifies books; EAN and UPC identify retail trade items, while ITF names a barcode representation method.
