Barcode verification service is offered by GS1 India with a dedicated facility using the latest verifying equipment to meet stringent scanning requirements of demanding overseas markets and buyers.

Using sophisticated barcode verifiers, verification reports are generated conforming to ISO/CEN/ANSI standards highlighting on barcode attributes like print contrasts, magnification, light margins, bar widths, location etc.

Using these reports, subscribers can get to know areas of improvement in barcode printing to ensure 100% scannability.

Subscribers are encouraged to use this service which is available at a very nominal fee (Rs.350/- per report) to avoid rejection of their products/consignments by domestic/International buyers and levy of heavy penalties for the same.

We encourage you to avail of this service prior to final, bulk printing of your product packaging to ensure that fully scannable GS1 barcodes are printed which would scan in almost all environments, in India and overseas. This in turn will ensure that your buyers accept your barcoded products at all times without rejection, which can prove very costly otherwise. Some of the major retail chains in India have already commenced levying penal charges for GS1 barcodes which do not scan or for products which do not carry GS1 barcodes at all.  

As per international best practices, it is recommended that barcode verification reports are taken by the suppliers once every three months to enable rectification of printing errors as soon as these occur during various print runs.
