CC-B


GS1 DataBar with CC-B

Composite Component B (CC-B) is a composite barcode component that can be used in conjunction with GS1-128, EAN/JAN-8, EAN/JAN-13, UPC-A, GS1 DataBar Limited, or any member of the GS1 DataBar and GS1 DataBar Expanded families of symbologies. It is based on MicroPDF417 and is designed to minimize symbol size relative to the amount of encoded data.

CC-B is defined in ISO/IEC 24723 Information technology - Automatic identification and data capture techniques - GS1 Composite bar code symbology specification.
