<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 &quot;Consignment Number 6773&quot; 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
barcode symbol may not be readable. The following table details which
AIs have fixed length data fields and how long the data should be for
each:</P>
