The following doesn't apply in this case, but I've also had it in the past that a UPC/EAN was submited to me without the last (check) digit. There's a calculator at UPC Database: Check Digit Calculator so if there's doubt that the number is complete/correct, enter the full code without the last digit and match the generated check digit with your last digit.
Thanks for this! The CD manufacturing side of my company issues bar codes and also accepts bar codes from clients to put in their artwork. This is a good way to check the validity of the latter.
