correctly regardless of where they were produced or handled.
Verification ensures that a code generated will be accepted by any reader,
everywhere. It's the only means to give a barcode a formal grade, as well as the most
reliable technique to diagnose and correct marking problems.
Grade Barcode Quality
Barcode verification helps producers create readable, high-quality codes by guiding
them through the marking process. Verifiers examine barcodes and assign them a
quality grade, which is usually stated as a letter grade (A through F) or a number
equivalent (4 to 0). A barcode with a grade of C or higher is often considered a
passing code that is 100% scannable.
Diagnose and Fix Errors
Barcode verifiers and software provide data validation and report on code quality
characteristics in accordance with ISO/IEC 15415, ISO/IEC 15416, and AIM DPM
(ISO/IEC TR 29158) criteria. Diagnostic tools in barcode verification software help
discover problems with barcodes that don't pass and provide information on how to
alter the code so that it and others pass.
