KB182029179: ArtPro+ - Barcode Compliancy

Question

Are the barcodes generated from ArtPro+ compliant with the current industry standards.

Answer

For ISO CODES we are following the available standards as given below:

ISO 24728	2006 MicroPDF417 bar code symbology specification [ISO_24728_2006_micro_PDF417.pdf]
ISO 18004	2006 QR code correction 2009 [ISO_18004_2006_QR_code_correction_2009.pdf]
ISO 16022	2006 + CORRIGENDUM 1(2008) & 2(2011): Data Matrix [ISO 16022-2006+CORRIGENDUM 1 & 2.pdf]

For NON-ISO CODES we are following the available standards as given below:

AIM Inc. International Symbology Specification	Reduced Space Symbology (RSS), ITS/99-001, Ver. 1.0 1999-10-29. Actually a base of RSS DataBar. [hard copy available]
Laetus	RATBERGER PHARMACODE, 4. Issue, February 2006, in German [hard copy available]
SYMBOLISATION	PAR CODE A BARRES SON IMPRESSION SUR L'EMBALAGE CODE 39 (C.I.P.), around 1993, in French [hard copy available]

For GS1 CODES we are following GS1 specifications:

1.General info

Overall GS1 data structure due to definition of Application Identifiers – valid for all GS1* barcodes
Barcode optimal/minimal/maximal technical parameters, if GS1 defines clearly

2. Data Carriers

Some data carriers are defined completely including encoding methods (type A),
For some of them GS1 defines only parameters related to GS1 application and GS1-specific data structure on top of referenced ISO symbol specification, defining encoding, bar drawing etc. (typeB)

EAN 8	type A
EAN 13	type A
UPC A	type A
UPC E	type A
ITF-14	type A
GS1 128	type B with a reference to “ISO/IEC 15417, Information Technology - Automatic Identification and Data Capture Techniques - Bar code Symbology Specification - Code 128”
GS1 DataBar Omnidirectional, Truncated, Stacked, Stacked Omnidirectional, Limited, Expanded, Expanded Stacked	type B with a reference to “ISO/IEC 24724”
GS1 Datamatrix	type B with a reference to “ISO/IEC 16022”
Composite part of barcodes	type B with a reference to “AIM ITS 99-002 - International Symbology Specification - Composite Symbology”
