This 2D Barcodes at Retail Point-of-Sale Implementation Guideline is focused on the considerations and implications of utilising 2D barcodes encoded with GS1 barcode syntaxes at retail point-of-sale (POS) for brand owners, manufacturers, retailers and solution providers. The purpose of this document is to provide implementation guidance for industry to use in their 2D barcode journey and to enable a smooth, voluntary transition from linear barcodes, to using more capable 2D barcodes while minimising disruptions to existing business processes.

Industry has set the ambitious goal of transitioning from linear, 1D barcodes to more capable 2D barcodes on-pack. The initial goal is for retail point-of-sale (POS) scanning to be globally capable of reading and processing the GTIN from both existing linear and 2D barcodes by the end of 2027. The Ambition 2027 will require software upgrades and may require equipment upgrades if the POS scanner is not already imager capable. GS1 and industry are working together to support this migration and generate globally consistent guidance for business use cases. As there is no expectation that there will be a single 2D barcode selected for all industries, GS1 standards are enabling options that empower each industry to choose how they evolve towards more capable 2D barcodes while ensuring globally consistent implementations now and in the future. For example, in healthcare the journey towards 2D started in the early 2000s when industry chose GS1 DataMatrix as the single 2D barcode for product identification. Today there are billions of product packs with GS1 DataMatrix encoding the GS1 element string syntax. For healthcare products GS1 DataMatrix is the 2D barcode of choice for point-of-sale scanning. Linear barcodes (e.g., EAN/UPC and GS1 DataBar) will not go away and will coexist with 2D barcodes for as long as there are uses for them. During the dual-marking transition phase, the trade item will feature both the current linear (i.e., EAN/UPC or GS1 DataBar retail POS family) barcode and either a GS1 DataMatrix or QR Code with GS1 Digital Link URI syntax, or a Data Matrix with GS1 Digital Link URI syntax. For more information on the retail 2D barcode see Section 4.1. Figure 1-1 illustrates how to use a 2D barcode in addition to the linear barcode for companies and users who are ready to unlock opportunities enabled by 2D showing the minimum human readable interpretation (HRI) for retail.

This is a practical implementation guideline for brands, manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, distributors, warehouse operators and solution providers to understand business opportunities, process changes and requirements needed to implement GTIN, GS1 Application Identifiers (AIs), GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 Digital Link URI syntax in QR Code or Data Matrix and linear barcodes at point-of-sale (POS) and in manufacture of trade items.

All barcode examples in this document, are shown for illustrative purposes only and may not represent the sizes approved for use in the GS1 General Specifications. The Symbol Specifications Tables defined by the GS1 General Specifications SHALL be used for all normative references to ensure conformance requirements are met.

Sections 5 through 8 are focused on implementation guidance for manufacturers and brand owners, retailers, distributors, warehouse operators and solution providers. While the information provided is not intended to enable a complete 2D implementation across a company, it can be used as a resource alongside the GS1 General Specifications, with guidance from local Member Organisations for companies to reference along their journey.

The Universal Product Code barcode (UPC-A and UPC-E) and European Article Number barcode (EAN-13 and EAN-8) have been trusted and ubiquitous data carriers for facilitating the price look-up function at retail point-of-sale (POS) since the early 1970s. This innovation automated a critical business process for retail POS everywhere.

The EAN/UPC family of barcodes carries only the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) associated with a product. Due to this data capacity limitation, the GS1 DataBar Expanded barcodes were introduced to meet business requirements for more data, such as batch/lot number and expiration date. However, GS1DataBar Expanded barcodes still have limited data capacity, and can become too large to fit on many packages. As linear barcodes require a mobile device app to access online information, they are not as consumer friendly as other data carriers, such as QR Codes, that allow consumers and business users alike to access additional product data and online information more directly.

The purpose of this document is to provide implementation guidance for industry beginning their 2D barcode journey and to enable a smooth, voluntary transition from using linear barcodes to using more capable 2D barcodes while minimising disruptions to existing business processes. This 2D Barcodes at Retail Point-of-Sale Implementation Guideline is focused primarily on the considerations and implications of utilising 2D barcodes encoded with interoperable GS1 data and syntaxes at point-of-sale (POS).

* While point-of-sale (POS) is mainly referred to as being enabled by fixed or hand-held scanners at the front of the store, retail POS can happen in multiple locations and ways, including utilising scanners in POS lanes, at self-checkout or using mobile devices on the sales floor and the backroom.

** RFID data carriers that use GS1 standards are seeing increasing use in supply chain to improve inventory management - especially in the apparel sector - they will not be addressed in this document. For more information on RFID, see EPC/RFID standards and guidance.
