Barcoding of goodsBarcoding (short for barcode) is a specific sequence of bars, spaces and numbers for electronic devices to read the required information.
The main purposes of barcoding are:
simplifying and increasing the speed of document flow in banking and other payment systems;
minimisation of reading errors due to automation of the process;
to identify employees (corporate barcode);
organisation of time-recording systems;
unification of forms for collecting various types of data (medicine, statistics, etc.)
simplification of warehouse inventory;
tracking and tracking of items in shops, securing merchandise, etc.

"RosTest", including our Ural certification centre, conducts product barcoding in 13 digit EAN - European identification system used in Russia since 1986. By detailing the coded information, the barcode identifies the origin and manufacturer of the product (the first two and the next five respectively), as well as its name, properties, weight and size, ingredients and colour. The last digit is a control digit, and in some cases it is followed by another, 14th digit, as a special mark of the goods produced under licence. There are several technologies for assigning and types (linear, two-dimensional) of barcodes. Barcodes are assigned by owners of bases or their authorized organizations. Most certification centres - and the Ural certification centre ROSTEST Ural is no exception - provide this type of service because the barcode, like certificates, marketability mark etc., is one way of informing the consumer, thereby assuring him of state-guaranteed security. The law allows the use of any of the legal coding systems (8, 13, 14-digit), depending on the task (retail, data entry, packaging, storage, etc.).
By contacting our certification centre, you will not only save time but also make it easier for you to select the best coding system, technology and type of coding.
