GS1 DataBar
Introduction
GS1 DataBar Symbols (formerly known as RSS) can identify small items and carry more information than the current GS1 Barcode Symbol. GS1 DataBar will enable barcode (Global Trade Item Number® (GTIN)
) identification for hard-to-mark products like fresh foods, and can carry GS1 Application Identifier
such as serial numbers, batch/lot numbers, and expiration dates, which creates the opportunity for solutions supporting product authentication and traceability, product quality and effectiveness, and variable measure product identification.
GS1 has announced a global sunrise date of January 2010 for all scanning systems to read GS1 DataBar Symbols on any trade item.
