What is a pass or fail on a barcode verifier grade
Barcode grades run from A (4.0) to F (0.0). The pass line is the grade written on the job ticket, not the instrument’s default A. If the ticket is silent, do not assume A is required, and do not ship below C on your own. Retail’s common floor is C, that is 1.5, but this order’s wording rules.

Letters and numbers
The verifier gives a symbol grade after one measurement. A is 4.0, B is 3.0, C is the band from 2.0 down to 1.5 still often called C. If the customer wrote “not below C” or “not below 1.5,” use what they wrote. They wrote A and you measured B: fail, even if a handheld scanner still beeps.
If the instrument is only a camera looking for broken bars, that “pass” is not an ISO grade. Only a verifier method fills A through F.
When you can ship
| Order | Measured | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Not below C or 1.5 | C or better | Ship, keep the report |
| Not below A | B or worse | Do not ship |
| No grade written | Whatever | Ask first, do not decide yourself |
When you record, write
- The grade the order required and the grade measured.
- That it was a verifier, not a camera pass.
- If no requirement was written, leave the field empty. Do not fill “default C.”
