CODE 32 (Italian Pharmacode)

CODE 32 Italian pharmacode barcode in PHP: AIC number input, check digit, code example and SVG output

- Nicola Asuni

Every medicine sold in Italy carries a nine-digit AIC number. CODE 32 converts that number to six characters in radix 32 and draws them as a CODE 39 symbol, so the printed symbol is shorter than the number it represents. AIFA assigns the AIC number; the library encodes whatever it is given.
