direct bar code marking

they put the bar code directly on the product

see this press release:

CANTON, MASSACHUSETTS - June 2, 2000 - Robotic Vision Systems, Inc. (RVSI) (Nasdaq: ROBV) today said one of the world's largest telecommunications equipment manufacturers has selected Data Matrix as its standard for ***direct-part marking*** on circuit boards used in certain wireless communications products. Concurrent with that decision, RVSI said its RVSI Acuity CiMatrix Division has received orders for this telecommunications manufacturer for more than $1 million of equipment that will be used to verify and read Data Matrix two-dimensional ***bar code marks***.

Data Matrix codes, which resemble small checkerboards, are found on an increasing number of products. Unlike one-dimensional bar codes, which can hold a relative handful of digits identifying a manufacturer and product identification numbers, a two-dimensional Data Matrix mark can encode a sizeable amount of alphanumeric information within a small mark. Moreover, while bar codes are typically imprinted on paper labels that are then affixed to product packaging, Data Matrix codes may be marked directly on a product either through chemical etching, dot peening, ink jet, laser marking, lithography, or other methods.


as per the asterisks above, the translation is:
direct bar code marking or direct marking with bar codes

FINAL: direct bar-code marking

en clair means directly on the product, IMO

neutral Francis MARC : "en clair" ne veut pas dire "marquage direct", sorry
