What bar code standard does the welding industry follow?
A. GAWDA has endorsed the UPC standard for bar coding of hardgoods. This is the same as most MRO supply industries. In addition, GAWDA has endorsed use of the SCC Shipping Container 14 digit standard when items are sold by the each, yet distributed in packaged quantities. Both of these standards have also been endorsed by the Welding Equipment Manufacturers Committee (WEMCO) of the American Welding Society.
