The implementation guide provides an overview of GS1 standards and the UDI rule, as well as specifics regarding unique production identifiers, barcode labeling and direct part marking.

GS1 was the first accredited UDI issuing agency, receiving FDA approval in December. Since then, Phoenix-based Health Industry Business Communications Council and San Bernardino, Calif.-based ICCBBA have also been accredited by the FDA to issue UDIs.
