- The data can also be provided in legacy ISBN-10 format as nine or ten digits separated appropriately by dash characters -. This will be automatically upgraded to the ISBN-13 format.
- If the last digit of the primary data is not given then the ISBN check digit is calculated automatically, otherwise it will be verified.
- The primary data can optionally be followed by a space then two or five digits if an EAN-2 or EAN-5 add-on is required.
- A five-digit add-on is typically used to represent the price supplicant.
- A two-digit add-on is not typically used with ISBN.
