Any Irish barcodes 539xx out there ??

Capt'n Midnight · 11-08-2006 5:34pm #1

The first three digits of a bar codes are assigned by country and "GS1 Prefixes do not provide identification of country of origin for a given product. They simply provide number capacity to different countries for assignment from that location to companies who apply." Fair enough

But how come we only get 539 but Belgium & Luxembourg get 540 to 549 ??
Just had a quick look here and can't find athing in the kitchen with a 539 code - loads of UK and others from further afield - even with Barry's teas , Avonemore milk and Siúcra

Is this a conspiracy or a rip off like the .ie domain names costing more than almost any others ?

Can anyone find an Irish bar code ?
