Acceptation des Codes-Barres IBN logo

Ce sont des questions courantes et importantes sur l’utilisation des codes-barres. Nos codes-barres sont acceptées par la plupart des pays du monde. Nous sommes membre du réseau international de codes-barres.

D’une manière générale, il existe trois groupes principaux de détaillants, comme indiqué ci-dessous :

Un très petit groupe de détaillants exige effectivement que vous soyez membre de GS1. GS1 est une organisation associative.
– Tous les codes-barres légaux de vente au détail (y compris les nôtres) proviennent de GS1.
– Vous pouvez décider d’obtenir vos codes-barres directement auprès de GS1, mais il s’agit UNIQUEMENT d’un accord de licence, et vous devrez généralement remplir des formulaires d’adhésion de plusieurs pages, payer les frais d’adhésion et les frais de renouvellement annuels pour tous les codes-barres que vous obtenez d’eux, et puis attendez l’approbation. Et par conséquent, les codes-barres GS1 sont compliqués, lents à obtenir et coûteux. (Nous sommes en concurrence avec GS1 pour fournir des codes-barres de vente au détail adaptés facilement, rapidement et à moindre coût.)
Un autre groupe plus important de détaillants exige des rapports de vérification des codes-barres – nous pouvons vous les fournir si nécessaire – nous sommes le seul revendeur de codes-barres (à notre connaissance) à pouvoir vous les fournir.

La majorité des détaillants dans le monde accepteront tout code-barres légal et légitime.

Nos codes-barres fonctionnent dans tous les magasins. Cependant, certains magasins exigent que les détaillants utilisent uniquement les codes-barres directs GS1.

Le(s) détaillant(s) suivant(s) n’accepteront pas nos codes-barres. Ils nécessitent que les codes-barres proviennent directement de GS1 :

Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club
Amazon ((si annonce avec un nom de marque)
Fred Meyers/Kroger
Macy’s
J.C. Penney’s

Tous les autres magasins au Canada et aux États-Unis, à notre connaissance, acceptent nos numéros de codes-barres.

Nos codes-barres sont acceptés par la grande majorité des détaillants dans le monde. Nous faisons partie d’un réseau d’environ 60 vendeurs de codes-barres dans différents pays du monde. Nous obtenons donc des informations à jour sur l’acceptation des codes-barres grâce à ce réseau.

Acceptation des Codes-Barres

Le tableau ci-dessous montre certaines restrictions dont nous sommes conscients. Cependant, avec des dizaines de milliers de magasins de détail dans le monde, nous ne pouvons pas connaître toutes les restrictions sur l’utilisation des codes-barres. Donc, pour être totalement en sécurité, vous devez vérifier auprès de votre (vos) détaillant(s) spécifique(s) avant d’acheter des codes-barres (malheureusement, cela peut prendre beaucoup de temps et d’efforts, et il est souvent difficile d’obtenir ces informations spécifiques auprès des détaillants).

Les pays qui acceptent nos codes-barres

Nos codes barres sont acceptées par la plupart des pays du monde.

La plupart des pays acceptent nos codes-barres sans restrictions. Néanmoins, il y a quelques rares entreprises dans un petit nombre de pays qui imposent leurs propres restrictions sur l’acceptation des codes-barres. Vous pouvez consulter la liste ci-dessous pour voir quels pays ont des restrictions et si cela peut impacter votre commerce.

Remarque : Le réseau met cette liste à jour autant que possible. Ces règles évoluent localement régulièrement.

Veuillez nous contacter pour vérifier les restrictions spécifiques du pays concerné, ou contacter nos collaborateurs travers le monde.

Please click on the countries with restrictions to see exactly what these are.

Shoprite in Africa has some restrictions, and seems to be forcing their suppliers to join GS1. If you plan to sell your products in Shoprite/Checkers/Usave/OK Furniture/House & Home, please talk to them before purchasing barcode numbers – they might force you to join GS1, which is unfortunately very expensive for you and for the retail customer. (NOTE – if Shoprite aren’t going to accept your goods anyway, it is a waste of money to join GS1 – so find out if Shoprite are keen to stock your goods BEFORE you risk joining GS1)

Si vous avez des questions à ce sujet, veuillez nous contacter.

REMARQUE – nous nous efforçons de rendre cela aussi précis que possible – cependant, des dizaines de milliers de détaillants dans le monde peuvent chacun imposer les restrictions qu’ils souhaitent. Veuillez nous faire savoir si vous avez connaissance d’autres restrictions.

REMARQUE – il s’agit de la liste de restrictions la plus complète que nous connaissions sur Internet (veuillez nous indiquer si vous en trouvez une plus précise). Les autres revendeurs ne donnent aucun avertissement ou sont vagues – alors ne leur faites pas confiance. Nous avons consacré beaucoup de temps et d’efforts à rendre cela aussi précis que possible – nous doutons que vous trouviez une liste plus précise des restrictions sur Internet (faites-nous savoir si vous le faites).
