The EPC is similar to U.P.C. with the addition of a version number and a unique serial number. The EPC Manufacturer number (also known as an EPC Manager number) can be based on the U.P.C. Company Prefix number (the left side of a U.P.C. barcode). The customer can use his existing UPC company prefix here if they choose to. Likewise, the EPC Product number can be based on the U.P.C. Item Identification number (the right side of a U.P.C. barcode). Again, the company can choose to use the same numbering scheme it uses for UPC.
