How the check digit is calculated

01 · CONVERT

Letters become numbers from A=10 to Z=38, skipping multiples of 11 (11, 22, 33). Digits keep their value.

02 · WEIGHT

Each of the first 10 values is multiplied by a power of two, 20 to 29, and the products are added up.

03 · MODULO 11

The check digit is the sum modulo 11. A remainder of 10 becomes 0.
