制药
2004 年，FDA 颁布了一项新规则，要求某些药品和生物产品的标签必须使用包含国家药品代码的一维条码。
2015 年，《药品供应链安全法》要求药品必须使用包含国家药品代码、序列号、批号和有效期的二维码。这些代码必须为符合 ISO 15415 标准的 'C' 级或更高等级。
Medical Devices
The Unique Device Identification (UDI) initiative through 2022 requires every manufacturer that produces a reusable or reprocessed device (surgical instruments, operating room accessories, implants) to place a DPM code on the device.
Per the UDI mandate, devices must be labeled with a barcode that lists a product’s lot number, serial number, and expiration date if applicable. Additionally, the FDA also requests that a portion of the information within each UDI barcode be submitted to the FDA’s Global Unique Device Identifier Database (GUDID) system. The information required depends on the medical device type.
All barcodes need a ‘C’ or higher quality grade. The only way to prove the barcode quality grade is with a verifier that indicates that a barcode can be read.
Automotive
The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) founded the Barcoding Project Team in 1981 to develop automotive industry standards for barcodes. Since then, barcodes have been instrumental in the supply chain standards for the industry. In 1984, AIAG adopted the Code 39 alphanumeric symbology and published the first industry-wide barcode standards: Barcode Symbology (B-1) and Shipping/Parts Identification Label (B-3).
Since the initial founding of the Barcoding Project Team, other guidelines for suppliers to the automotive industry have been created, including industry-wide and company specific initiatives. A few of the industry standards are listed below:
- GM 1724: This is General Motors’ global label specification. Webscan has been certified for compliance with this labeling standard. The TruCheck Optima and TruCheck Omni verifies the PDF 417 symbols incorporated on these shipping labels.
- AIAG B-17: This is a 2D Direct Parts Marking Guideline for the automotive industry. Webscan was an instrumental contributor to the development of this document. The guideline uses AIM DPM standards for verifying the quality of the barcode. The TruCheck 2D USB DPM or TruCheck FlexHite verifier is ideal for this application.
航空航天
航空航天业采用了各种各样的符号和标记方法。标签系统为识别、库存移动和控制等唯一包裹处理解决方案同时使用线性一维和二维符号，包括 Data Matrix 码。很多情况下，塑料、铝、陶瓷和钢制机械零件会直接通过点刻、激光和化学蚀刻以及其他标记方法进行标记。
标签和铭牌上的线性条码（ATA Spec 2000 的 code 128、code 39）可使用 TruCheck Optima 或 TruCheck Rover 根据 ISO-15416 质量规格进行分级。
ATA-Spec-2000 和美国国防部《军用财产唯一识别标准》(MIL-STD-130) 中提到的 Data Matrix 码可以使用任意 Webscan 验证器系统进行验证，特别是 DPM 型号。Webscan 二维码验证器可根据任意质量规范进行验证，包括 AS-9132（即航空工业自己的直接部件标识规范）。
