ISBT 128 is an information standard that is independent of the actual mechanism used to deliver it. Code 128 was originally selected as the best linear bar code symbology available to accommodate the requirements of ISBT 128 Application Specification data structures. This is still true today and there will continue to be a need for linear bar codes for the foreseeable future. In terms of future applications and extensibility, the data structures in ISBT 128 are not limited to bar coding. ISBT 128 is technology-independent and may be used in RFID and other technologies. ICCBBA Inc. continues to look ahead to new technology and applications. With the established data structures provided in ISBT 128, future conversion to new technology modes will be facilitated.
