Why <strong>GS1</strong> and Linear Barcodes ?<br />

FDA Ruling<br />

Any linear symbology, including Reduced Space<br />

Symbology (RSS), can be used <strong>for</strong> the bar code<br />

Two-dimensional (2D) bar code symbologies are not<br />

permissible. This includes Data Matrix, which is already<br />

in use in the pharmaceutical industry<br />

RFID is not an acceptable substitute <strong>for</strong> the bar code<br />

EAN.UCC or HIBCC standards may be used, but neither<br />

is required.
