8.1.23 UCC/EAN 128, TCI 50

UCC/EAN 128 symbologies are actually code 128 bar codes that have specific data format
guidelines for multiple data subfields. The subfields are identified by application identifiers
that are specified in the “UCC/EAN Application Identifier Standard” available from the
Uniform Code Council, Inc.®.

Data strings can contain one or more substrings appended onto one line. Each substring
can consist of a 2, 3 or 4 digit Application Identifier immediately followed by a data string
meeting the formatting requirements for that specific Application Identifier.

The following table is a list of the supported Application Identifiers and their specific data
