Standards assurance
How Quick Policy verifies against GS1_BARCODE_STANDARDS
Every policy Quick Policy generates is scored against GS1_BARCODE_STANDARDS's pass mark, with a PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict and plain-English guidance on what to fix when it falls short.
A monthly automated audit re-checks coverage against this standard, so drift is caught between scheduled reviews rather than at the next one.
Audit-ready exports bundle the scored policies, gap guidance, and review history into one evidence pack when it is time to show your work.
