2. Who issued the barcodes

The first three digits of a GTIN-13 barcode identify the GS1 member organisation that issued the company prefix. That is where the brand owner registered for barcodes — not where the product was made. ISBN and ISSN ranges (books, sheet music, serials) are not countries and are labelled as such.

4. Brand concentration

How many brands each dataset family records and how much of it the ten largest account for. Only brand values recorded by the source dataset itself are counted. Spellings are merged only when they differ in case or spacing. For books the field is the publisher; for music it is the artist or label as the source records it; for medical devices it is the company named in the registration. Counts describe how many records a dataset holds, not market share or quality.

5. Recalls in brief

Public safety agencies published 14,768 recall notices from November 2025 to October 2026 (previous twelve months: 15,561); the largest product categories were Food (3,200), Medical device (2,237), Motor vehicles (1,039). The latest months are provisional because some agencies publish weeks late. The full breakdown by agency, category, country, hazard and brand is the Safety Data Index on product-guru.org; monthly snapshots are in the Recall Index.
