20、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 must be able to identify and trace such distinct entities so that reference can be made
21、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 some kind of database. The information can be accessed using EDI exchange or another approp
22、riate 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
23、 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 AIDC technologies have the potential to encode an identity. It is expected that applica
24、tion 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 ident
25、ity for groupings of products, product packages, transport units and items defined in this part of ISO/IEC 15459, and represented in AIDC media attached to the entities (e.g. raw material, parts, transport units, finished goods, consumer products, assets, etc.), meets the needs defined in ISO/IEC 15

27、identification of groupings of products, product packages, transport units and items. The character string is intended to be represented in a linear bar code symbol and two-dimensional symbol or other AIDC media attached to the entity to meet management needs and/or regulatory needs (e.g. customs cl
28、earance). To address these needs different types of identifiers are recognized in the various parts of ISO/IEC 15459, which allows different requirements to be met by the unique identifiers associated within the context of the specific parts of ISO/IEC 15459. The unique identifiers for grouping or p
29、roducts, product packages, transport units and items enables grouping by e.g. type, characteristics, order, manufacturing, quality, location, movement, etc. to be uniquely identified. It is possible to use with other unique individual identifiers defined in other parts of ISO/IEC 15459. Encoding the
30、se unique identifiers in a data carrier enables information about the item processing to be clearly identified. The identity for groupings is intended for “look-up” purposes, and cannot be directly used as an entity identity in the strictest sense of the definition as used, for example, in ISO/IEC 1
31、5459-1, ISO/IEC 15459- 4, and ISO/IEC 15459-5. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

37、different from any other identity. The description of such a form of unique identification is described in ISO/IEC 15459-1, ISO/IEC 15459-4 and ISO/IEC 15459-5. The provisions in ISO/IEC 15459-1, ISO/IEC 15459-4 or ISO/IEC 15459-5 shall be used for individual entities. Where unique identification fo
38、r grouping of entities, which are not necessarily of the same type, is required the provisions of Clause 5 and Clause 6 of this part of ISO/IEC 15459 shall be used. 5 Identities for grouping of entities The grouping of entities for which the type, usage, quality, or delivery, etc. is considered the
39、same could be determined to be uniquely and distinctly identified and such a grouping should be unambiguously identified by a qualifier and string as defined in Clause 6 so that groupings can be distinguished from entities using other qualifiers. The qualifier component of an identity for a grouping
40、 may use any data format supported by ISO/IEC 15434 or ISO/IEC 9834-1. What formats to be used are to be specified by the Issuing Agency rules. 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
41、 relevant to this standard; GS1 Application Identifiers 01 or 402 If this 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 identit
42、y. ASC MH 10 Data Identifiers 25P, 25T, 25K or 26K If this method is used to create the identity 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. NOTE There are situations where th
43、e identity be constructed from various factors, such as the manufacturing date, materials, production facilities, operator, environmental conditions, and many kinds of parameters at the manufacturing process is required to specify the quality of an entity, dependent on the characteristics of the ent
44、ity. In such a case, these factors should be reflected elsewhere in an AIDC domain; not as part of an identity but as an attribute to the identity according to this part or any other part of ISO/IEC 15459. 6 Identity for grouping of products, units and items 6.1 General An identity is assigned to an
45、 entity (e.g. product and/or material) to enable follow up by a unique identity issuer. This shall be done in accordance with the rules established by an authorized Issuing Agency as identified in ISO/IEC 15459-3 and ISO/IEC 15459-2. 6.2 Maximum number of characters permissible in a unique identity
46、The identity for groupings shall not contain more than 50 characters.2 ISO/IEC 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO/IEC 15459-6:2014ISO/IEC 15459-6:2014(E) For ef f icient use w it hin various AIDC dat a carrier systems, it is recommended t hat t he number of charac ters to be coded by a one line linear b
47、ar code symbol should not exceed 20 characters, and the number of characters should be kept as short as possible regardless of the permissible maximum of 50 characters. 6.3 Permissible character sets in an identity The identity shall only contain upper-case alphabetic characters and numeric digits o
48、f 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 of processing identities using the full repertoire of characte
49、rs permitted for identities for groupings. 7 Implementation of coding using AIDC media All AIDC technologies have the potential to encode an identity. It is expected that application standards for entities, using various automatic identification technologies, will be developed based upon the ISO/IEC 15459 identity as a prime key.
