Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Automatic identification and data capture techniques (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31)

Every day, billions of barcodes are scanned at checkout counters, on hospital wristbands, on airport boarding passes, and on parcels winding their way across continents. Behind each scan lies a compact body of international standards, quietly ensuring that data moves fast, moves accurately, and moves in a language every machine understands. That body of standards is the life’s work of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026.
