National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical act
12、ivity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical comm
13、ittee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in ac
14、cordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

20、nsport unit, on the returnable transport item, at grouping levels, and elsewhere. Such entities are often handled by several parties, both public and private, throughout their lifecycle. Each of these parties must be able to identify and trace such distinct entities so that reference can be made to
21、associated information such as quality inspection data, the chemical substance contained, the batch or lot number of parts, components or raw materials, etc. The associated information is typically held in some kind of database. The information can be accessed using EDI exchange or another appropria
22、te access protocol, e.g. a directory access protocol. There are considerable benefits if the identity of the entity is represented as a bar code or other AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture) media and attached to or made a constituent part of that which is being uniquely identified so th
23、at it can be read electronically, thus minimizing errors; one identity can be used by all parties; each party can use the identity to look up its computer files to find the data associated with the entity. All AIDC technologies have the potential to encode an identity. It is expected that applicatio
24、n standards, using various automatic identification technologies, will be developed based upon the identity as a prime key. These application standards, which can include additional rules for which level of identification should be used, are often made available from the Issuing Agency. The identity
25、 for individual transport units defined in this part of ISO/IEC 15459, and represented in AIDC media attached to the unit, meets the needs defined in ISO/IEC 15459-3, Common rules.

26、fication and data capture techniques Unique identification Part 1: Individual transport units 1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC 15459 specifies a unique string of characters for the identification of individual transport units. The character string is intended to be represented in a bar code label or oth
27、er AIDC media attached to the entity to meet management needs. To address management needs, different types of entities are recognized in the various parts of ISO/IEC 15459, which allows different requirements to be met by the identities associated with each type. The rules for the unique identifica
28、tion for individual transport units, to identify physical logistical transfers, with the identity relevant for the duration of one or more items in the load being held or transported as part of that load, are defined and supported by example. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole

33、 qualifiers, the string shall be combined with a qualifier determined by the Issuing Agency. The qualifier component of an identity for an individual transport unit may use any data format supported by ISO/IEC 15434 or ISO/IEC 9834-1.

This shall be done in accordance with the rules established by an authorized I
41、ssuing Agency as defined in ISO/IEC 15459-3 and ISO/IEC 15459-2. 5.2 Maximum number of characters permissible in an identity The identity for individual transport units shall not contain more than 50 characters. For efficient use within various AIDC data carrier systems, it is recommended that the n
42、umber of characters to be coded in a one line linear bar code symbol should not exceed 20 characters, and number of characters should be kept as short as possible regardless of the permissible maximum of 50 characters. 5.3 Permissible character sets in an identity The identity shall only contain upp
43、er-case alphabetic characters and numeric digits of the invariant character set of ISO/IEC 646, see Annex A in ISO/IEC 15459-3. NOTE An Issuing Agency is permitted to make additional restrictions on the repertoire for identities using its IAC.2 ISO/IEC 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO/IEC 15459-1:2014
44、ISO/IEC 15459-1:2014(E) Any data processing system shall be capable of processing identities using the full repertoire of characters permitted for identities for transport units. 6 Implementation of coding using AIDC media All AIDC technologies have the potential to encode an identity. It is expecte
45、d that application standards for entities, using various automatic identification technologies, will be developed based upon the ISO/IEC 15459 identity as a prime key. These application standards may be made available from the Issuing Agency. ISO/IEC 2014 All rights reserved 3BS ISO/IEC 15459-1:2014
46、ISO/IEC 15459-1:2014(E) Annex A (informative) Unique identification for transport units NOTE The examples shown in this informative annex are illustrative of those permitted. The examples of both data and AIDC carriers used are not exhaustive. A.1 Role of the Issuing Agency in providing application
47、guidance for transport units To illustrate the usage of individual identities for transport units, the hypothetical example is given using the two Issuing Agencies (IAs), recognized by the Registration Authority, GS1 and Universal Postal Union (UPU). The construction of the string minimally includes
48、 the Issuing Agency Code (IAC), Company Identifying Number (CIN), and Identity (ID) assuming that the ID is unambiguous within the CIN. In some cases IDs are not unambiguous within the CIN but are unambiguous within a specific asset type under the control of a company. If the ID is not unambiguous w
49、ithin the company, the string must include a company asset type code, or similar. Thus the string established by the identity issuer cannot be the same as that established by another. Moreover, ISO/IEC 15459-2 ensures all the identities are unambiguous. A.2 GS1 unique identification for transport units Figure A.1 shows a GS1 string (18 characters SSCC) for transport units.
