APPLIED IMAGE 6MIL CONFORMANCE CALIBRATION CARD

Conformance testing calibration card from Applied Image with 6 mil 1D barcode images. 

Calibration Cards expire after 2 years from the date of issue. Calibration is important for industry standard compliance. 

For 2D camera based verifiers you can choose either a “2D Calibration Card” or a “Linear Calibration Card”. Either of them will allow you to calibrate the reflectance levels which is what calibration does. Importantly, calibration is not specific to the symbology and once the verifier is calibrated using either type of calibration target, the verifier is calibrated for both 1D and 2D barcodes. However, for 1D verifiers, such as TruCheck Laser USB which do not work on 2D barcodes, only a “1D Calibration barcode” can be used.

Besides Calibration, many of the calibration target cards can also be used for “Conformance Testing”. Conformance Test Symbols are barcodes produced with intentional defects that give lower than perfect grades. The GS1 Data Matrix calibration card contains Data Matrix symbols with intentional imperfections that you can measure with the verifier to check the reporting capabilities of the verifier and to document conformance to industry standards such as ISO/IEC 15415 and ISO/IEC 15426-2 and GS1 specifications.
