This is similar in structure to the serial, this is like the Title ID in the sense that it is a per title Identifier, but it is not checked by the 3DS Applications (It's like an internally used name). And follows this structure:

CTR-[P/N/T]-[Type][Identifier][Region]

CTR-[P/N/T]-[Type][Identifier][Region]-[Region]-[Digit]

* P/N/T - P Generally used for games (note: for retail and dev games this is the same) / N Used for built in applications like [[Mii Maker]] and some eShop titles / T is used in some e-Shop demos

* [Type][Identifier][Region] - Same as in serial structure

* [Region] - A three character representation of the title region, i.e. 'EUR' (Not always present)

* [Digit] - A single digit usually '1' or '0' (Not always present)

So for example a Japanese copy of Ridge Racer 3D would have a Product Code of "CTR-P-ARRJ" and a Serial of "LNA-CTR-ARRJ"

~~The Product Code "CTR-P-CTAP" is the default Product Code for developers.~~

~~You can check the product code at the end of the 'Health & Safety' section of the 'Manual' of your application in the Home menu.~~

Some eShop titles have Product Codes which differ from the above format:

Line 42:

* [Type][Identifier][Region] - Same as in serial structure

* [Region] - Same as in normal Product Code structure

* [Digit] - Same as in normal Product Code structure

* [Region] ~~- A three character representation of~~ the ~~title region~~, ~~i.e~~. '~~EUR~~' ~~(Not always present)~~

Note: the additional [Region] and [Digit] identifiers aren't present in the actual Product Code, as found in the game's CXI. They are only found in the game's Home Menu Manual, and on the game's packaging/external labeling.

The Product Code "CTR-P-CTAP" is the default Product Code for developers.

* [Digit] - A single digit usually '1' or '0' ~~(Not always present)~~
