My current software already supports ISBT 128 and it is validated for everything but scanning ISBT 128 bar codes. Do I need to do anything special?
If you do not intend to use a bar code reader to enter units into inventory or track units at crossmatch, issue or return, then you are done. However, if you intend to use a bar code reader, a validation plan is needed to verify that the bar codes that will be read can actually be read by the equipment you have and will be correctly entered at every point you intend to use bar code reading of information.
