Defining the barcodes

There are two types of barcode used with bovine traceability.
• EAN128 standard. These barcodes include the mandatory information and use
Application Identifiers (AIs) to determine how the data is interpreted.
This type of barcode cannot be edited.
• EAN128 non-standard barcodes. These barcodes use Application Identifiers (AIs) but
include voluntary information in addition to the mandatory information (custom
barcode).
This type of barcode can be edited to match those of your supplier.
Each type of barcode has been programmed into the machine as a standard format for
the barcode digits. This is known as the default format. You can edit these formats to
match the barcode formats received from your suppliers.
Custom barcodes
Use this barcode format to interpret data from non standard AI barcodes received from
the supplier. The system uses the AI (950) to identify that the barcode contains voluntary
data and AI (953) the licence number to print this data.
The default barcode format for AI 950 is:
LWYTTUUVV
