1、 ATIS-0300220.2016 (Revision of ATIS-0300220.2011) American National Standard for Telecommunications Structure for the Representation of the Communications Industry Manufacturers, Suppliers, and Related Service Companies for Information Exchange Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions App
2、roved September 22, 2016 American National Standards Institute, Inc. Abstract This standard provides the code and format structure for the representation of the names of communications industry manufacturers, suppliers, and related service companies for the purpose of efficient information exchange.
3、 ATIS-0300220.2016 ii Foreword The information contained in this foreword is not part of this American National Standard (ANS) and has not been processed in accordance with ANSIs requirements for an ANS. As such, Foreword may contain material that has not been subjected to public review or a consens
4、us process. In addition, it does not contain requirements necessary for conformance to the standard. The Alliance for Telecommunication Industry Solutions (ATIS) serves the public through improved understanding between providers, customers, and manufacturers. The Telecom Management and Operations Co
5、mmittee (TMOC) develops operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning standards, and other documentation related to Operations Support System (OSS) and Network Element (NE) functions and interfaces for communications networks with an emphasis on standards development related to U.S.A. co
6、mmunication networks in coordination with the development of international standards. This document is entitled Structure for the Representation of the Communications Industry Manufacturers, Suppliers, and Related Service Companies for Information Exchange. This American National Standard provides f
7、or various coded representations necessary to identify manufacturers, suppliers, and related service companies that comprise the communications industry, for efficient information interchange for both data and non-data applications. This standard was initially developed as a direct result of a contr
8、ibution submitted by the Telecommunications Industry Forum (TCIF) to standardize the names of the telecommunications industry manufacturers, suppliers, and related service companies. The previous TCIF responsibilities currently are handled within the ATIS Automatic Identification and Data Capture Co
9、mmittee (AIDC) Committee. These codes are in widespread use as de facto standards in records for information interchange, covering procurement/ordering, equipment engineering, circuit identification, billing, and revenue distribution. ANSI guidelines specify two categories of requirements: mandatory
10、 and recommendation. The mandatory requirements are designated by the word shall and recommendations by the word should. Where both a mandatory requirement and a recommendation are specified for the same criteria, the recommendation represents a goal currently identifiable as having distinct compati
11、bility or performance advantages. This standard contains four annexes that are for information only and are not considered part of the standard. Requirements specify the minimum format and structure of codes required for information exchange between communications service providers. Suggestions for
12、improvement of this document are welcome. They should be sent to the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions, TMOC, 1200 G Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20005. At the time it approved this standard, TMOC, which is responsible for the development of this Standard, had the following

Usry, TMOC Editor iconectiv ATIS-0300220.2016 iii Table of Contents 1 Scope thus it is used with a singular verb.) 2.3 Data element: A single unit of data that in a certain context is considered indivisible. It cannot be decomposed into more fundamental s
14、egments of data that have useful meanings within the business. 2.4 Format structure: A combination of data elements grouped in a prescribed sequence. 2.5 Mnemonic: A code designed to be easily remembered. 2.6 Related service companies: Companies that maintain, refurbish, and/or repair Information an
15、d Communications Technologies (ICT) equipment and may or may not be the original equipment manufacturer. 3 General Each data element shall consist of sequences of characters, each being either an alphabetic (A-Z) or numeric (0-9). In the data element and format structure of clause 4, character posit
16、ions that require either alphabetic or numeric characters are represented by “A/N”. The alphabetic characters shall be considered as case insensitive; that is, there shall be no distinction made between upper and lowercase letters. However, it is recommended that the code be represented with upperca
17、se letters. 4 Data Element b) Develop, maintain, and publish directories of codes and their legal entity names; c) Provide an industry procedure for obtaining directories of assigned values; d) Provide services and materials under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms; and e) Notify the developer
18、of this standard at least two years prior to any anticipated exhaustion of the code sets. _ 1Telcordia Technologies, Inc. dba iconectiv (“iconectiv”) or its equivalent is such a maintenance agent. At the time of approval of this standard, ATIS and the responsible ATIS Forum/Committee that developed
19、the standard were aware of only one maintenance agent, iconectiv, for this requirement (Annex B). If you are aware of an equivalent or an alternative maintenance agent, please provide this information to the ATIS General Counsel. Your comments will receive careful consideration at a meeting of the r
20、esponsible Forum/Committee, which you may attend for the purpose of this consideration.

ISO/IEC 15459, Information technology Automatic identification and data capture techniques Unique identification, refers to the unique identification of identity issuers, items, units, packages, etc., throughout the supply chain (i.e., to enable in
29、dividual data capturing from transport units, returnable transport items, products, packages, as well as groupings). To ensure a globally unique Manufacturer Identification segment, the ISO/IEC 15459 standard includes an Issuing Agency Code (IAC) per ISO/IEC 15459-2, and the Issuing Agency assigned
