This Symbology is used by
Singapore Post (SingPost) for Postal code and automatic mail sorting. It’s
based on British Royal Mail 4-State Customer Code (RM4SCC) and provides
information about the address of the receiver.
It encodes alpha-numeric characters (0-9, A-Z), as well as start and stop bar
characters. It comprises four types of bars (the four states), each of which
has a distinct name, value and barcode symbol.
