GS1 AI (17) Expiration Date Specification (YYMMDD & YYMM00)
Parse GS1 expiration date timestamps into ISO 8601 dates with full support for YYMM00 end-of-month logic.
Quick Technical Summary: Parse GS1 expiration date timestamps into ISO 8601 dates with full support for YYMM00 end-of-month logic. Implementation conforms to GS1 General Specifications & AI Syntax.
Specification & Structural Breakdown
AI (17) defines the expiration date in 6 numeric digits (YYMMDD). If the day is unknown, DD is set to 00, indicating the last day of that month.
| Raw String | Interpretation | Resolved ISO Date |
|---|---|---|
| 260831 | August 31, 2026 | 2026-08-31 |
| 260200 | Last day of February 2026 | 2026-02-28 |
