BS EN 1573:2015EN 1573:2015 (E) 4 Introduction The use of electronic data interchange (EDI) in association with the physical transport and handl

19、ing of goods requires a clear and unique identifier linking the electronic data and the transport unit. Bar coded transport labels are in widespread use in European industry. There exists a number of different standards many designed to meet the requirements of the specific industry sector. For effe

20、ctive and economic use within, and between, industry sectors a common multi-industry standard is a necessity. The bar code information on the transport label may be used to access the appropriate database that contains detailed information about the transport unit, including information transmitted

21、by electronic messages. In addition a transport label may contain other information relevant to the trading partners, either encoded in bar codes or printed in a human readable format. This edition of EN 1573, Multi Industry Standard Label (MITL), expands on the 1996 edition by providing advice on u

22、sage of a modularized multi industry transport label that fulfils both product related requirements as well as transport requirements. This edition also includes additional alternatives for 2D symbols and informative samples of modularized MITLs. BS EN 1573:2015EN 1573:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This Europe

23、an Standard: specifies the general requirements for the design of transport labels containing linear bar code and two-dimensional symbols for use by a wide range of industries; provides for traceability of transported units via a unique transport unit identifier code or licence plate, and supplement

24、ed where necessary by other identified data presented both in bar code and human readable form; provides a choice of linear bar code and two-dimensional symbologies; specifies quality requirements, classes of bar code density; provides recommendations as to label material, size and the inclusion of

25、free text and any appropriate graphics. This European Standard draws considerably on the content of ISO 15394:2009. As such, common material will not be repeated here but detailed references will be provided to that standard. However, this European Standard: defines some features in a more precise m

26、anner for use in the European context; provides additional advice possible since the publication of ISO 15394:2009. This European Standard can be used as the single source, sufficient for an overview and to enable information flows to be incorporated into business systems. ISO 15394 is more relevant

27、 to those who are undertaking detailed label design, particularly compliant label generating software. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

34、cheme that is managed by an agency 3.2 licence plate common term for unique identifier of a transport unit Note 1 to entry: For this European Standard it is specified by the label issuer and applied to a transport unit to provide access to traceability data regardless of content and destination and

35、valid for the lifetime of the transport unit. The term licence plate is used because of the one-to-one relationship between the number and physical transport unit. 3.3 transport unit package intended for transportation comprising one or more articles, wrapped or unwrapped, and when multiple articles

36、 constrained to form a unit 4 General concepts 4.1 Principles The purpose of a bar code label is apart from unique identification of the package- to facilitate the automatic exchange of data among all members within a channel of distribution, e.g. supplier, carrier, purchaser, other intermediaries.

37、The amount of data in linear bar code, two-dimensional symbol, and in human readable form is dependent on the requirements of the trading partners. Where a bar code label is used in conjunction with electronic databases and/or electronic message standards, the amount of data may be significantly red

38、uced by the use of a common mandatory data element (the unique transport unit identifier). Trading partners, have different information requirements. Some information may be common to two or more trading partners while other information may be specific to a single trading partner. Information for va

39、rious trading partners becomes available at different times, e g: order processing information at the time of processing the order; product specific information at the point of manufacture or packaging; BS EN 1573:2015EN 1573:2015 (E) 7 transport information at the time of shipment. Trading partners

40、 can find it necessary to include additional data elements dealing with the above which may be presented both for automatic data capture from the linear bar code or two-dimensional symbol and for processing in a human readable form. 4.2 Unit load and transport package For the purposes of this Europe

41、an Standard, a unit load is considered to be one or more transport packages or other items placed in a container or held together by means such as pallet, slip sheet, strapping, interlocking, glue, shrink wrap, or net wrap, making them suitable for transport, stacking, and storage as a unit. For the

42、 purposes of this European Standard a transport package is considered to be a package intended for the transportation and handling of one or more articles, smaller packages, or bulk material. Both unit loads and transport packages are referred to as transport units in this document. 4.3 Unique trans

43、port unit identifier A unique transport unit identifier is assigned to each individual transport unit. This is a basic requirement for all label formats specified by this European Standard. The unique identifier or “licence plate” is the key providing access to information stored in computer files a

44、nd it may be transmitted by electronic communication between trading partners. The unique identifier may be used by all of the trading partners to retrieve information about the transport unit itself or about the status of the physical movement of the transport unit along the supply chain. It enable

45、s systems to track and trace individual transport units. 5 Data elements 5.1 Data identifiers Data elements in the linear bar codes shall include data identifiers in accordance with ISO/IEC 15418. GS1 application identifiers (in accordance with ISO/IEC 15418) shall only be used in conjunction with G

46、S1 subset of Code 128 symbology (in accordance with ISO/IEC 15417). ASC MH10 Data Identifiers (in accordance with ISO/IEC 15418) shall be used in conjunction with either Code 39 symbology (in accordance with ISO/IEC 16388) or Code 128 symbology or QR Code symbology (in accordance with ISO/IEC 18004)

47、 or Data Matrix (in accordance with ISO/IEC 16022). NOTE ISO 15394 refers to these data identifiers by their previous name of FACT data identifiers. They are now a formal ANSI standard, and maintained by American and international experts from other countries. Users should become familiar with the i

48、ssues associated with being confronted with the multiple symbologies and data formats. These issues are discussed in Annex B of ISO 15394:2009. 5.2 Unique transport unit identifier The unique transport unit identifier, as defined in ISO/IEC 15459-1, shall be present on the multi industry transport l

49、abel. The unique transport unit identifier has the following structure, it: starts with the Issuing Agency Code (IAC), assigned to the Issuing Agency by the Registration Authority; conforms to a format specified by the Issuing Agency; is unique in the sense that no issuer re-issues a number until a sufficient period of time has passed so that the first number has ceased to be of significance to any user of this European Standard; BS EN 1573:2015EN 1573:2015 (E) 8 contains only numeric and uppercase alphabetic char
