How ISBN Hyphenation Works

An ISBN is structured into five distinct segments separated by hyphens according to official agency range data.

  • EAN Prefix: 978 or 979 Bookland GS1 code.
  • Registration Group: Identifies country, language, or territory.
  • Registrant: Specific publisher code assigned by national agencies.
  • Publication: Specific book title and edition.
  • Check Digit: Mathematical checksum validating the ISBN.
