French term or phrase: lieu-fonction
I am translating some guidelines for packaging barcodes and I am unsure about the term 'lieu-fonction'.

It appears twice in the text, firstly:

Code lieu-fonction international EAN/UCC

I have translated this as:
International-Uniform Code Council EAN/UCC

and:

Numéro à 13 chiffres correspondant au lieu-fonction magasin et attribué par Carrefour

Does 'lieu-fonction' refer to teh shop location here?

Thanks

Explanation:
I see a number of references to a bar code "location function" on the web. This is a typical one:

It seems to be a standard that designates the location of data in the barcode. Here is the French:http://www.alaide.com/dico.php?q=EAN 13

and here is the English:http://www.idautomation.com/code128faq.html#About_Code_128
