Modified on Fri, 30 May at 4:51 PM

The HRI is the information in the direct proximity of the GS1 data carrier (GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 EPC/RFID Tag) and represents the user data encoded in the data carrier and application identifiers 1:1. In the HRI, Application Identifiers are highlighted in round brackets for better interpretation by humans.


The brackets must not encoded in the GS1 data carrier. The HRI serves as a backup for the information encoded on the data carrier. Data Element = GS1 Application Identifier (AI) + Data Field [GS 3.1].
