20、 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 associated info
21、rmation 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 appropriate access proto
22、col, 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 that: it can be
23、 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 application standards,
24、 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 publisher. The common rules for how to c
25、onstruct an identity to achieve unique identification of an entity are defined in this part of ISO/IEC 15459.

29、C 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO/IEC 19762-1 and the following apply. 3.1 entity anything (physical or non physical) having a distinct existence Note 1 to entry: In the context of supply chain management it often refers to an item (p
30、roduct or service) which can be individually considered and identified. 3.2 string characters assigned to an entity constructed using the specific rules of the Issuing Agency to create an unambiguous number within the context of the specific parts of ISO/IEC 15459 Note 1 to entry: The structure of t
31、he string is specified in ISO/IEC 15459-3 and begins with the IAC component in the ISO/IEC 15459 Register. 3.3 qualifier one or more characters referring to an entity, providing the meaning of the string data Note 1 to entry: Examples of qualifiers are DIs, AIs and OIDs.

33、identity. Note 2 to entry: In other standards or documents the UII is referring to the identity. 3.5 Issuing Agency organization entrusted by the Registration Authority to assign company identifying numbers in line with the requirements of ISO/IEC 15459-2 3.6 Issuing Agency Code one or more characte

37、. ISO/IEC 15459-2 requires Issuing Agencies to define rules that ensure that no identity issuer can allocate a duplicate identity within a given type. Organisations making use of an identity should ensure that identities for different types are treated as distinct references. Mechanisms exist that d
38、istinguish between identities. The qualifier component of an identity may use any data format supported by ISO/IEC 15434 or ISO/IEC 9834-1. What formats to be used are to be 2 ISO/IEC 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO/IEC 15459-3:2014ISO/IEC 15459-3:2014(E) specified by the Issuing Agency rules. For th
39、e purpose of this standard examples are not to be exhaustive, but rather representative of the full suite of data qualifiers possible to use and relevant to this standard. NOTE 1 Identities always start with a qualifier (see the examples in the informative annexes of each part of ISO/IEC 15459. NOTE
40、 2 Qualifiers are essential distinguishing features for data capture applications. NOTE 3 Each part of ISO/IEC 15459 specifically references the qualifiers (GS1 Application Identifiers (AI), ASC MH10 Data Identifiers (DI) and ISO/IEC 9834-1 Object Identifiers (OID) that are used as legitimate exampl
41、es within the specific identity type. NOTE 4 Legitimate qualifier can specify a type (OID “1 0 15459 1” identifies the type “transport units”) or a sub-type within the type (the DI “6J” identifies transport units consisting of identical items). 6 Identities An identity is assigned to an individual e
42、ntity, item, unit or grouping by an identity issuer. The following requirements apply to identities: a) an identity shall include a qualifier from one of the qualifier identification methods listed above. b) the string component of an identity shall start with one or more characters for the identifi
43、cation of the identity issuer, i.e. Issuing Agency Code (IAC) followed by Company Identifying Number (CIN). c) the string shall conform to the format specified for the qualifier to which it applies. d) the string shall be unambiguous within its qualifier in the sense that no issuer re-issues the str
44、ing within the qualifier over the entire life cycle for the identified entity or until a sufficient period time has passed so that the identity has ceased to be of significance to any user. e) each qualifier shall require its own independent set of rules that enable the identities for this qualifier
45、 to be held in a separate field on a database, be defined as a separate data element in an EDI message or as a separate search criterion in a directory search. For each qualifier the rules should minimally determine (1) the maximum length of the string for that qualifier and (2) the repertoire of ch
46、aracters that may be used in the string following the identity issuer identification. f) for some parts of this standard an identity may be made up from a combination of two or more qualifiers and their associated strings, according to rules defined for the qualifier identification method. This is e
47、xplained in each part. It is recommended that the Issuing Agency provide application guidance to identity issuers (e.g. check- digit algorithms, selection of GS1 Application Identifier or ASC MH10 Data Identifier, etc). 6.1 Common rule for the length of an identity The common rule for the length of
48、an identity is that it should be kept as short as possible, enabling coding using different AIDC techniques (e.g. one line linear bar code, 2D symbol, RFID tag, etc.) within the same or across several applications. It is especially important to keep the identity short if one line linear bar codes ar
49、e to be used as the size of the bar code depends on the number of characters to be encoded. 6.2 Common rule for the character set of an identity The common rule for the character set of an identity is that it shall only contain upper-case alphabetic characters and numeric digits of the invariant character set of ISO/IEC 646, see Annex A. Any data processing system shall be capable of processing identities using the full repertoire of permitted characters. ISO/I
