HIBC

The Health Industry Bar Code (HIBC) standard was developed specifically for the healthcare industry to fulfill unique safety requirements for the labeling of medical products, such as medical devices, that are not typically found in commercial retail settings. All items that are shipped to hospitals are required to have an HIBC label.
