The HIBC SLS was developed by HIBCC and representatives from throughout the healthcare industry to provide healthcare specific data structures and labeling options for medical/surgical products. The SLS includes the HIBC-LIC data format, a variable length alphanumeric format for primary identification of medical goods, as well as secondary information critical to healthcare processes such as lot/batch/serial number, expiration date and a secure link character. It was approved for accreditation by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1997 (ANSI/HIBC-2). ANSI/HIBC 2.3 is a revision of ANSI/HIBC 2.2.
