National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of
12、International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in li

20、dBS ISO/IEC 15459-4:2014ISO/IEC 15459-4:2014(E) Introduction Unique identities can occur at many different levels, at item level, on the transport unit, on the returnable transport item, at grouping levels, and elsewhere. Such entities are often handled by several parties, both public and private, t
21、hroughout their lifecycle. Each of these parties must be able to identify and trace such distinct entities so that reference can be made to associated information such as quality inspection data, the chemical substance contained, the batch or lot number of parts, components or raw materials, etc. Th
22、e associated information is typically held in some kind of database. The information can be accessed using EDI exchange or another appropriate 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 (
23、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 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
24、 to find the data associated with the entity. All AIDC technologies have the potential to encode an identity. It is expected that application standards, using various automatic identification technologies, will be developed based upon the identity as a prime key. These application standards, which c
25、an include additional rules for which level of identification should be used, are often made available from the Issuing Agency. The identity for products and product packages defined in this part of ISO/IEC 15459, and represented in AIDC media attached to the product or product package, meets the ne
26、eds defined in ISO/IEC 15459-3, Common Rules.

27、C 15459 specifies a unique string of characters for the identification of individual products and product packages. The character string is intended to be represented in a linear bar code symbol or two-dimensional symbol or other AIDC media attached to the entity to meet management needs. To address
28、 management needs different classes of identities are recognized in the various parts of ISO/IEC 15459, which allows different requirements to be met by the identities associated with each class. The rules for the identification of an individual occurrence of a product or product package, understood
29、 to mean the layers zero and one defined in the International Standards ISO 17367 and ISO 17366, respectively, are defined and supported by examples. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its applica

34、kages of a given type can be distinguished from other types. The permitted combinations of qualifier and string are determined by the Issuing Agency.

35、individual product in a product package, or one individual product is seen as dominant in the product package, the product package may use the identity as the included sole or dominant individual product (see Clause 4.1). In other cases a product package shall have its own identity, making it possib
36、le to differentiate the product package from the included individual products. Notwithstanding the above, where regulatory requirements or industry practice dictate it may be necessary to assign an identity to the only or all the individual products in a package. 4.1 Qualifiers for individual produc
37、ts and product packages The qualifier component of an identity for a product or product package may use any data format supported by ISO/IEC 15434 or ISO/IEC 9834-1. What formats may be used are to be specified by the Issuing Agency rules. For the purpose of this standard examples are not meant to b
38、e exhaustive, but rather representative of the full suite of data qualifiers possible to use and relevant to this standard; 4.1.1 Identity using a serial component GS1 Application Identifiers 8004 If this method is used to create the identity each unique identity issuer would select the appropriate
39、GS1 Application Identifier, conforming to the requirements of the GS1 General Specification, to act as the qualifier of the identity.

This shall be done in accordance with the rules establish
48、ed by an authorized Issuing Agency as identified in ISO/IEC 15459-3 and ISO/IEC 15459-2. 5.2 Maximum number of characters permissible in an identity The identity for individual products and product packages shall not contain more than 50 characters. For efficient use within various AIDC data carrier
49、 systems, it is recommended that the number of characters to be coded by one line linear bar code 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 upper-case alphabetic characters and numeric digits of the invariant character set of ISO/IEC 646, see Annex
