GS1 barcodes are a global standard for product, shipment, and asset identification across retail, healthcare, logistics, and supply chains.

Managed by GS1, a non-profit organization, these barcodes ensure interoperability and traceability in global commerce.

There are different barcode modes implemented corresponding to the type GS1:

•Expanded

•Expanded-Stacked

•GS1 128

•GS1 128 CC-A/B

•GS1 128 CC-C

•Limited

•Omnidir

•RSS

•Stacked

•Stacked-Omnidir

•SSCC

•Truncated

If selecting a GS1 barcode, for example GS1-DataMatrix, the application identifiers defined by GS1 have to be in brackets followed by its value. Application Identifiers are for example:

Identifier	Description
(01)	GTIN (Global Traded Item Number)
(10)	Batch or Lot Number
(11)	Product Date (as YYMMDD)
(15)	Best Before Date (as YYMMDD)
(21)	Serial Number
(400)	Purchase Order Number
(422)	Country of Origin (as ISO code)
