The Next Generation Barcodes Retail Test Kit provides GS1‑compliant barcode samples, enabling retailers and suppliers to evaluate their current scanning capability and understand how systems interact with approved GS1 2D barcodes. This kit helps businesses assess system readiness and identify necessary updates.

The kit includes a test tracking template for recording results, which should be returned to GS1 Australia for analysis. To use the kit, scan each sample with your POS or scanning equipment, record outcomes in the template, and submit findings via the provided link for GS1 review and capability assessment.
