<H1>C. GS1 General Specification</H1>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The GS1 General Specification defines a global standard for
|
|
|
|
|
encoding data about products. The full specification is available
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.gs1uk.org/EANUCC/WORD_Files/word.html">here</A>.
|
|
|
|
|
Data is encoded as a series of number pairs where the first number,
|
|
|
|
|
usually shown in (brackets) is an application identifier (AI), and
|
|
|
|
|
the second is a formatted representation of the data. For example
|
|
|
|
|
(401)6773 can be read as "Consignment Number 6773" where
|
|
|
|
|
the AI (401) signifies that the data is a consignment number. Note
|
|
|
|
|
that when using Zint AI data is entered using [square] brackets. This
|
|
|
|
|
allows rounded brackets to be included in the data which is allowed
|
|
|
|
|
by the specification. When the barcode symbol is generated these
|
|
|
|
|
square brackets are replaced by rounded brackets in the text. A list
|
|
|
|
|
of valid AI numbers is given below.</P>

<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">The GS1 Specification requires that

some of the data to be encoded fits a standard length field. Zint

requires this to be true of input data in order for data to be

encoded correctly but does not check that the input data adheres to

these rules. If this system is not followed then the resulting
