All spaces are assumed to be completely regular and \(T_ 1\). A compactification \(\alpha\) X of a space X is said to be a countable-points compactification (abbreviated to CCF) if \(\alpha X-X\) is at most countable. Every locally compact space or, by \textit{L. Zippin} [Am. J. Math. 57, 327-341 (1935; Zbl 0011.27503)], every rim-compact \((=\) semi-compact),Čech-complete separable metric space has a CCF. For every metric space X, a characterization for X to have a CCF was established by author's in another paper [Fundam. Math. 103, 123-132 (1979; Zbl 0416.54018)]. Concerning countable-points compactifications of product spaces the author shows here the following theorem: Let X and Y be paracompact spaces. Then \(X\times Y\) has a CCF if and only if one of the three conditions below is satisfied: (i) X and Y are locally compact, (ii) One of X, Y is zero-dimensional, locally compact, separable metric, and another has a CCF, (iii) X and Y are zero-dimensional, Čech-complete separable metric.
