Bar code Accreditation Programme
A manufacturer’s guarantee to scan first time, every time
GS1 Accreditation is a bar code quality assurance programme that guarantees your identification numbers, bar codes and printing processes are fully GS1 compliant. Accredited companies are licensed to verify bar codes on their own products and can issue reports accepted by retailers in lieu of the GS1 verification reports many retailers require as a condition of accepting products. GS1 Accreditation is a programme administered jointly by GS1 New Zealand and GS1 Australia and is recognised throughout Australasia.
The key benefits include:
- Getting your products to market faster. When you carry out your own bar code verification some trading partners may exempt you from supplying verification reports.
- Improving your relationships with trading partners. They will appreciate the accuracy and scan-ability of your bar codes.
- Making business more efficient. Correct, reliable bar codes mean less time wasted when they do not scan or convey inaccurate data.
