Grading Standards

For any Application Standard selected, you need to select either ISO/IEC 15415/6, or ISO/IEC 29158 (AIM DPM) grading standard depending on your application.

1D barcodes use ISO/IEC 15416.
2D barcodes printed on a label use ISO/IEC 15415.
2D DPM barcodes use ISO/IEC TR 29158, also known as AIM DPM.
