How do I apply for Barcode Verification?

If you need to get your barcode symbols verified by GS1 Ireland, simply submit a completed barcode verification application form, along with some actual product samples and the appropriate fee to the GS1 Helpdesk.

A barcode printed in its final form on the packaging material is required for Verification. If you submit artwork using different materials and different print processes than the finished product, it may have different reflective properties and might return different test results from what the final product would provide.

If you have any questions about Barcode Symbol Verification please contact Membership Services on 01 208 0660.

Fees

 *All new members of GS1 Ireland are entitled to 2 free verifications within the first six months of joining.

Please note: GS1 Ireland does not return samples sent for verification, unless otherwise stated. Samples will only be returned it if is specifically requested. If you require your samples to be returned you must advise in writing that you want your samples returned and send with the verification application form a return label and a prepaid courier ticket. If those are not included with the samples, samples will be disposed of accordingly.
