GS1 Barcodes

GS1 barcodes are a type of barcode used in retail and supply chain operations to identify items. They are used in many countries and are based on the international GS1 standard. These barcodes use a list of different application identifiers (AI) to encode additional data into the barcode such as quantity, lot, expiration date, serial number, and other attributes.

ERP.net supports GS1 Barcodes and recognizes a number of GS1 application identifiers using different Barcode Parsers.

For more information, about the supported AI and their implementation, see the documentation of the specific parser:
