Barcode Verification Verification is a method of analyzing a printed code against a published specification (like those of GS1) to determine: • A ISO 15426 compliant barcode verifier grades barcode print quality and data format to ensure compliance with specifications for: є Print Quality: ISO/IEC 15415, ISO/IEC 15416 є Data Format: GS1, HIBCC • Whether the barcode is compliant to specifications. є Verify data structure • Whether the barcode will be read. ► Inspect print quality • It is a predictor of how well a code will be able to be read throughout its life cycle.
• Unlike a verifier, A barcode scanner or barcode reader will report the data it sees, but it does not have the ability to tell you that the data in your code is not compliant to your selected standards, or whether it is formatted correctly.
