Information technology - Automatic Identification and data capture techniques - Data carrier identifiers (including symbology identifiers)
Scope:
This International Standard applies to automatic identification device communication conventions and standardizes the reporting of data carriers from bar code readers and other automatic identification equipment. It specifies a preamble message generated by the reader and interpretable by the receiving system, which indicates the bar code symbology or other origin of transmitted data, together with details of certain specified optional processing features associated with the data message.
Project need:
To align Canadian requirements with those of international standards in the Information Technology (IT) subject area. Additionally, the standards will provide support for existing and evolving technologies in Canada. This proposed New Edition is being adopted at the request of Canadian Stakeholders from P123 Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT). It will provide the industry with the latest requirements in the
field of Information Technology (IT). See the attached list in the Annex for specific information on each standard.
