Quality control for labels and markings

As defined by ISO 28219, quality control for labels and markings provides a means for items, parts and components to be marked and read in either fixtured or handheld scanning environments at any manufacturers’ facility and then read by customers purchasing items for subsequent manufacturing or for final use. Intended applications range from inventory, distribution, manufacturing, quality control and transportation as well as acquisition, supply, repair and disposal.

This solution will help you:

• Define minimum requirements for identifying items
• Provide guidelines for item marking with machine-readable symbols
• Cover both labels and direct marking of items
• Include testing procedures for label adhesive characteristics and mark durability
• Provide guidance for the formatting on the label of data presented in linear bar code, two-dimensional symbol or human readable form
• Support systems that automate the control of items during processing and packaging
