The formats of the RM4SCC codes are specified in the following:

• Postcode: Length: 5, 6, or 7 characters; Characters set: "0"-"9", "A"-"Z"
• Delivery Point Suffix (DPS): Length: 2 characters; Characters set: "0"-"9", "A"-"Z"; A DPS consists of a number ("1"-"9") then a letter ("A", "B", "D"-"H", "J", "L", "N", "P"-"U", "W"-"Z"). The number can be any from 1 to 9 but not 0. The letter can be any except C, I, K, M, O or V.
• Check digits: Length: 1 characters; Characters set: "0"-"9", "A"-"Z". The checksum character is used as a means of error detection to ensure that the rest of the barcode is correct. It will be automatically appended if the AutoCheckDigit property is set to true.

Example: SN34RD1A
