bash regex

I am trying to make sure that the number entered for the barcode variable is exactly 10 digits long but it doesnt work and get the following error. What am I doing wrong?

error: ./regex.sh: line 6: [: =~: binary operator expected

if [ ${barcode} =~ "[0-9]{10}" ]
then
        echo "Regex Passes!"
else
        echo "Regex Failed!"
fi

If I change the =~ to == I don't get an error but it still fails when it shouldnt, I assume thats because I am then comparing 2 different numbers for equality, rather than testing for an acceptable pattern.

I did get the following to work but it wasn't what I was going for.. also it allows numbers longer than 10 digits to be accepted.

if echo ${barcode} | grep -Eq '[0-9]{10}'
then
        echo "Regex Passes!"
else
        echo "Regex Failed!"
fi
