20、ntroduction 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, throughout their lifecycle. Each of these parties
21、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. The associated information is typically held in som
22、e 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 (Automatic Identification and Data Capture) media
23、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 to find the data associated with the entity. All
24、 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 can include additional rules for which level of id
25、entification should be used, are often made available from the Issuing Agency. The identity for returnable transport items (RTIs) defined in this part of ISO/IEC 15459, and represented in AIDC media attached to the RTIs, meets the needs defined in ISO/IEC 15459-3, Common rules.

27、ication of individual returnable transport items (RTIs). The character string is intended to be represented in a bar code label or other AIDC media attached to the item to meet management needs. To address management needs different classes of identities are recognized in the various parts of ISO/IE
28、C 15459, which allows different requirements to be met by the identities associated with each class. The rules for the identification for RTIs, with the identity being relevant for the complete life cycle of the item, are defined and supported by example. 2 Normative references The following documen

33、from items of other types. The qualifier component of an identity for a returnable transport item may use any data format supported by ISO/IEC 15434 or ISO/IEC 9834-1.

For the purpose of this standard examples are not meant to be exhaustive, but rather representative of the full suite of data qualifiers possible to use and relevant to this standard; GS1 Application Identifiers 8003 or 8004 If th
35、is method is used to create the identity each unique identity issuer would select the appropriate GS1 Application Identifier, conforming to the requirements of the GS1 General Specification, to act as the qualifier of the identity. ASC MH 10 Data Identifier 25B If this method is used to create the i
36、dentity each unique identity issuer would select the appropriate ASC MH10 Data Identifier as required by the appropriate Issuing Agency to act as the qualifier of the identity.

This shall be done in accordance with the rules
39、established 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 a string The identity for individual RTIs shall not contain more than 50 characters. For efficient use within various AIDC data carrier systems, it is re
40、commended 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
41、contain upper-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. Any data processing system shall be capable o
42、f processing identities using the full repertoire of characters permitted for identities for RTIs.2 ISO/IEC 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO/IEC 15459-5:2014ISO/IEC 15459-5:2014(E) 6 Implementation of coding using AIDC media All AIDC technologies have the potential to encode an identity.

A.1 Role of the Issuing Agency in providing application guidance for re
45、turnable transport items In addition to the requirements of an Issuing Agency, outlined elsewhere in ISO/IEC 15459, each Issuing Agency is expected to provide guidelines if individual RTI identification is relevant to its IAC domain. A.2 Considerations with returnable transport item identification T
46、o illustrate the usage of an individual identity, the hypothetical example is given using the two issuing agencies (IAs) recognized by the Registration Authority (RA), GS1 and ODETTE. The construction of the identity minimally includes the Issuing Agency Code (IAC), Company Identification Number (CI
47、N), and string component (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 within the company, the identity must include a company
48、 asset type code, or similar. Thus the identity 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.3 GS1 unique identification The rules of GS1, to whom the Issuing Agency Codes “0” till “9” ha
49、ve been allocated by the Registration Authority, are that the string for RTIs consists of no more than 14 numeric digits followed by no more than 16 alphanumeric characters. The first numeric string of characters is allocated by GS1 to the string issuer (company prefix) and the following characters are assigned by the string issuer. EXAMPLE 1 Typical RTI identity issued under the rules of GS1. In this example, the IAC/CIN/Asset Identity is “109875
