Yes, there are cases where this is not true.
Sets using 00428840 as the company identifier follow with the set number and
checksum digit.
However, Lego has another company identifier which is 57020109 followed by the
set number and checksum digit.
The Technic RL500 ruler came with the EAN-13 code 5027417003702.
Finally, I have encountered the following sets where the set number has no
obvious relation to the EAN code.
System Space Port 6459: 5702012000515
Technic 8253 Fire Copter: 5702012002007
System Star Wars 7110 Landspeeder: 5702012002649
System Star Wars 7128 Speeder Bikes: 5702012002656
Technic 5206 Speed Computer: 5702012007088
