Yes. When you buy a bottle of shampoo it will probably
have a code in EAN UCC format.

I haven't bought shampoo in years, and the barcodes I've seen encode the
manufacturer on the left and the product on the right.

Prefixes are not coded. You simply use kilograms and move the decimal point.
An item weighing 47.2 megagrams would be coded as:
3100 047000
Translating the digits in turn:
310 = this tells you that the value to follow will be a weight in kg
0 = t
As someone who worked for a frozen food manufacturer and administered the
UCC/EDI program, I can tell you that the code is simple. The first 5 digits
are the manufacturer's code and the second 5 digits are the manufacturer's
internal product number. The manufacturer's code is assigned by the UCC.
I was in Wal-Mart this morning to pick up a couple things on
my way to work and I needed to measure one of them, so I went to the tools area
and found the tape measures. While there I looked to see if there were any
metric tape measures. The only one I found was a dual unit (inches and ce
You were lucky--my local Home Depot has many different tape

Out of a dozen or so tape measures at my local Lowe's, only one was
marked off in dual units. And it was easy to find, too, being
labeled 8m/25 feet. Of course the metric units are on the bottom
portion of the tape, so it's quite difficult to conveniently measure in
cm or mm. Good luck in findin
The two times I went to get a dual-unit tape measure, they have been very easy
to find. Home Depot
seems to always have at least one or two dual-unit versions.
Both of mine are Stanley brand. One is 3 meters, the other is 8 meters.

I have purchased metric-only tapes by special order from Stanley via my local
hardware store. They are available -- one just has to ask.
