RM4SCC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RM4SCC is the name of the barcode symbology used by the Royal Mail for its Cleanmail service. It enables UK postcodes to easily be read by a machine at high speed.
The barcode encodes the postcode as well as the delivery point suffix and a checksum character.
There are strict guidelines governing usage of these barcodes, which allow for maximum readability by machines.
They are used with Royal Mail's Cleanmail system to allow businesses to easily and cheaply send large quantities of letters.
