GS1
DataBar™ Barcode Released:
|
 GS1, formerly the UCC-Council.org, has
renamed the Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) barcode to the GS1 Databar. This
new barcode type can identify small items and can contain more information
that the current EAN/UPC barcode. The GS1 System provides
several types of bar code for use by GS1 members depending on the
application. The bar codes used by GS1 include EAN/UPC, GS1 DataBar, GS1-128,
ITF-14, Data Matrix, and Composite Component. For example, the UCC/EAN-128
will now be known as the GS1-128.
GS1
DataBar will enable GTIN identification for hard-to-mark products such as
fresh foods and can carry GS1 Application Identifiers like serial numbers,
lot numbers, and expiration dates. This will create the opportunity for
solutions supporting product authentication and traceability, product quality
and effectiveness, variable measure product identification, and creating
coupons.
IDAutomation is in
the process of updating our documentation over the next couple of years to
reflect this transition. For more information please read the press
release, Reduced
Space Symbology is now GS1 DataBar™
