RM4SCC (Royal Mail 4-State Customer Code[1] is the name of the barcode character set based on the Royal Mail 4-State Bar Code symbology created by Royal Mail. The RM4SCC is used for the Royal Mail Cleanmail service. It enables UK postcodes as well as Delivery Point Suffixes (DPSs) to be easily read by a machine at high speed.
This barcode is known as CBC (Customer Bar Code) within Royal Mail.
PostNL uses a slightly modified version called KIX which stands for Klant index (Customer index); it differs from CBC in that it doesn't use the start and end symbols or the checksum, separates the house number and suffixes with an X, and is placed below the address.[2] Singapore Post uses RM4SCC without alteration.[3]
There are strict guidelines governing usage of these barcodes, which allow for maximum readability by machines.
