This document provides a mechanism for users to validate their ISBT 128 barcode-reading software. It will help make users aware of how their system responds to a given data structure. Regulatory and compliance staff, as well as software developers, may find this guidance document helpful when developing certain validation test plans.

This guidance should be used in conjunction with the current version of the ISBT 128 Standard Technical Specification (ST-001). Users should already be familiar with the standard's specifications and have a comprehensive understanding of ISBT 128 data structures.
