Seagull Scientific's BarTender Label and RFID Software Now GS1 Certified


Bellevue, WA, USA - On October 1, 2010, Seagull Scientific's BarTender Label and RFID software was declared by GS1 US (www.gs1us.org), the administrator of the global GS1 System of supply-chain standards in the U.S., to be a "GS1 US Certified Bar Code Software Product." This makes Seagull Scientific a formally-certified member of GS1 US's "BarCodes and eCom(TM) Solution Partner" Program.

BarTender version 9.3 (Service Release 1) was tested for proper compliance by the GS1 US organization in all 9 of the available GS1 bar code symbology categories. This included long-standing symbologies, such as UPC and GS1-128, as well as newer, more advanced symbologies, such as the GS1 DataBar composite bar code. BarTender passed all 9 certification tests on the first attempt. BarTender is currently the only bar code software package to be certified against the relatively-new GS1 DataMatrix specification.

"These certifications assure both resellers and end users they can depend on BarTender as their label design and printing tool when it is essential to satisfy the latest GS1 symbology standards," said Jeremy Seigel, CEO of Seagull Scientific.
