Application Identifiers

 

 

Notes: * The first position indicates the length (number of digits) of the GS1 Application Identifier. The following value refers to the format of the data content. The following convention is applied:

  •  N numeric digit
  • X any character in figure 7.12 - 1
  • N3 3 numeric digits, fixed length
  • N..3 up to 3 numeric digits
  • X..3 up to 3 characters in figure 7.12 - 1

** If only year and month are available, DD must be filled with two zeroes.
*** The fourth digit of this GS1 Application Identifier indicates the implied decimal point position.


Example:

  • 3100 Net weight in kg without a decimal point
  • 3102 Net weight in kg with two decimal points

FNC1: All GS1 Application Identifiers indicated with (FNC1) are defined as of variable length and must be limited by a Function 1 Symbol Character unless this Element String is the last one to be encoded in the symbol.

GS1-128


Application Identifiers and their data fields are encoded in GS1-128, a subset of code 128. GS1-128 contains a reserved non-data character, Function 1, as the first symbol and character after the start character. This subset is reserved for the exclusive use of GS1 for this standard.

This combination of a standard data content and unique symbol architecture gives compatibility of coding among different companies, while enabling those companies which are not interested in particular types of data to program their equipment to ignore them.

 

Concatenation


Multiple AI's and their fields can be efficiently combined (concatenated) into a single bar code. When the first two characters of the AI correspond to a pre-defined length indicator, no field separator is required.

The next AI follows immediately after the last character in the data field of the previous AI. A variable length field must be immediately followed by a field separator character, unless it is the last field in the bar code symbol. The function 1 character is used as field separator.a

 

The representation of data format follows this convention:

 

a alphanumeric character
n numeric characters
an alpha numeric characters
sa6 6 alphabetic characters, fixed length
n6 6 numeric characters; fixed length
an6 6 alpha-numeric characters; fixed length
a…6 up to 6 alphabetic characters; variable length
n…6 up to 6 numeric characters; variable length
an..6 up to 6 alpha-numeric characters; variable length
