GS1 Application Identifiers (AI)

Numerous GS1 barcode symbols, including GS1-128 symbols, encode one or more GS1 Application Identifiers to indicate what type, format and length of data encoded after the AI. The GS1 Application Identifiers give meaning to the data within a barcode. GS1 Barcode Data Identifiers can vary in length from 2-4 digits. The GS1 General Specifications provide a complete listing of every GS1 Application Identifier.
