BS ISO/IEC 16022:2006

Comprehensive international standard for 2D barcodes and data matrix codes. Ensures compliance and interoperability for product identification and traceability.

Comprehensive International Barcode Standard

BS ISO/IEC 16022:2006 is the definitive international standard for 2D barcodes and data matrix codes. This critical standard ensures consistent, reliable, and interoperable product identification and traceability across global supply chains and industries.

Ensure Compliance and Interoperability

Adhering to BS ISO/IEC 16022:2006 is essential for any organization that requires robust product identification and data capture. This standard specifies the technical requirements for:

  • Data matrix symbology characteristics
  • Encoding procedures
  • Error correction
  • Print quality assessment
  • Scanning and decoding parameters

By implementing this standard, you can ensure your barcodes and data matrix codes are universally recognized, scanned, and processed, facilitating seamless supply chain integration and traceability.

Enhance Product Identification and Traceability

The ISO/IEC 16022 standard is a crucial tool for improving product identification and traceability. Data matrix codes can store a wealth of information in a compact, machine-readable format, including:

  • Unique product identifiers
  • Batch or lot numbers
  • Expiration dates
  • Serialization data
  • Supply chain logistics information

By encoding this data into durable, high-density 2D barcodes, you can enhance product tracking, recall management, and overall supply chain visibility - ultimately improving efficiency, safety, and compliance.

Ensure Global Interoperability

As an internationally recognized standard, BS ISO/IEC 16022:2006 facilitates global interoperability and data exchange. This standard is widely adopted across diverse industries, including:

  • Retail
  • Logistics
  • Automotive
  • Aerospace
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Electronics

Implementing this standard ensures your product identification and traceability solutions are compatible with global supply chain systems and processes, enabling seamless integration and data sharing.

Comprehensive Technical Specifications

BS ISO/IEC 16022:2006 provides detailed technical specifications for the design, production, and verification of data matrix codes. Key aspects covered by the standard include:

  • Symbology characteristics and dimensions
  • Encoding and error correction algorithms
  • Printing and marking requirements
  • Scanning and decoding parameters
  • Verification and quality assessment

By adhering to these comprehensive technical guidelines, you can ensure your data matrix codes are reliable, durable, and universally compatible, supporting your product identification and traceability initiatives.
