Is bar code unique?

Yes and no. If the barcode is used in the retail vertical then the barcode will be unique. Since all retail items need to be unique so the databases used will never get "confused" as to which product is being sold, the barcodes have to be unique. However, in closed systems where barcodes are used for serial numbers, part numbers etc., there can be identical numbers. These types of barcodes only have a use within the system in which they were originally printed for. They have no value outside that closed system. An example would be a circuit board with a serial number barcode on it. Let's say the circuit board is built by Intel. Intel uses the serialized barcode to track the status of the board during manufacture. After manufacture the barcode could be used to track the return of that item, if it's ever returned. So some barcodes do need to be unique and some don't. http://www.barcodehelponline.com
