REDUCED SPACE SYMBOLOGY AND COMPOSITE SYMBOLS

NOTE: GS1 recently renamed the RSS Symbology to GS1 DataBar to avoid confusion with the popular RSS XML Feed technology.

The name change does not change the barcode standards, therefore documentation referring to the “RSS Symbology” is the same as

GS1 DataBar. GS1 also recently renamed several barcode standards built on Code 128 such as EAN-128 and UCC-128 to GS1-128.

RSS SYMBOLOGY

Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) was developed as a family of several linear symbologies to provide

users with features that address specific space limitation and application needs. RSS is designed to allow

encoding of up to 74 characters of data.

EAN.UCC RSS bar code symbols are intended for encoding identification numbers and data

supplementary to the identification. The administration of the numbering system by EAN and UCC

ensures that identification codes assigned to particular items are unique worldwide and that they and the

associated supplementary data are defined in a consistent way. The major benefit for the users of RSS

symbology is the availability of uniquely defined identification codes and supplementary data formats for

use in their trading transactions.

RSS Limited

Encodes the full 14-digit Global Trade Item Number (GTIN). It is the smallest RSS symbol format. Its

indicator digit must be a ‘0” or “1”. It is not designed to be read omnidirectionally or intended for use at

point-of-sale.

More informaton about the Global Trade Identicaton Number system may be found at:

RSS-14

RSS-14 encodes the full 14 digit EAN. UCC item identification in a linear symbol that can be scanned

ominidirectionally by suitably programmed point-of-sale barcode scanners. For use at point-of-sale and for

standard EAN.UCC item identification.
