The country of origin is defined as the manufacturing country wherein the product obtained its present identity (final form, fit, and function
14、) as a part, subassembly, or finished product. The definition of country of origin shall be in line with local regulations. 4.2 Glossary A complete glossary of terms used in this document is given in Annex A. 5 Label Data Content and Requirements 5.1 Data Elements 5.1.1 General The label format acco
15、mmodates both required and optional data elements. See Table 1. All data elements encoded in a machine-readable medium shall be presented with the correct semantics. In the case of the EAN.UCC symbologies, ITF-14, EAN-8, and EAN/U.P.C., the meaning of the data is implied by their structure. For furt
16、her information, see the General EAN.UCC Specifications. All data elements encoded in other machine-readable media shall be preceded by the appropriate Data Identifier (DI) defined in ISO/IEC 15418 and ANSI MH10.8.2 Data Identifier or the appropriate Application Identifier (AI) defined in ISO/IEC 15
17、418 and the General EAN.UCC Specifications.Several conventions exist to establish world-wide uniqueness of numbering. This numbering may be for license plates, product numbers, serial numbers, and/or lot/batch numbers. One such method is described in the General EAN.UCC Specifications using an assig
18、ned company prefix followed by the remainder of the data structure. Another method is the combined Issuing Agency Code, as defined in ISO/IEC 15459, followed by an IAC-assigned entity identification, hereinafter referred to as IAC/CIN, followed by the remainder of the data structure. ISO/IEC 15459 I
19、ACs shall only be used by companies also using the IAC for their transport unit license plates. In Tables 2 through 7, under “Data characteristics Type/length,” the characteristic of the Data Identifier or Application Identifier and their respective lengths are shown first. 5.1.2 Data Element Requir

Regardless, of whether the package contains one of an item or the package contains more than one, the quantity shall be encoded, Retail Required. Note that in the case of encoding item identification in an EAN.UCC GTIN, the quantity is re

If both are shown on the label at least one of the two item identifiers shall be encoded in a machine readable symbol. The suppliers part number shall be used for
25、 Item Identification in the absence of a different agreement between trading partners. The maximum length of item identification data element shall be 25 alphanumeric characters, exclusive of identifiers and other overhead characters. When item identification is combined with supplier identification
26、 into a single data element, the maximum length of this field shall not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters. The item identification data field should be in one of the formats Table 2 or Table 3.

31、1.2.2 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) The Information Technology supply chain has different ways of identifying a product: most suppliers use their own internal number, some use the customers numbers, some use the distributors number and still other use a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) and some use
32、 all of theseall for the same product. The EANUCC has adopted the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) as the solution to uniquely identify products within the global supply chains. The EANUCC System is used in multiple industries and countries throughout the worldan important consideration given the glo
33、bal focus and rapid convergence of supply chains. 5.1.2.2.1 GTIN Database Requirement Manufacturer/supplier databases should be designed to allow for 14 digits to accommodate all GTIN scenarios for product/service identification throughout the world. The GTIN number shall be right justified and zero
34、-filled in the database. It is important to understand that this does not mean that North American manufacturers/suppliers will begin replacing the UCC-12 (U.P.C.) GTIN with a 14-digit GTIN number structure. It means that any version of the GTIN (UCC-12, EAN/UCC-13 or UCC/EAN-14) should be capable o
35、f being stored in the same database field. In North America, the UPC-A GTIN will continue to appear on the products the way they have always appeared.

The UCC-12 is 12 characters in length, is assigned by the manufacturer (or owner of the label), and contains: (1) a number unique to the manufacturer (company prefix), (2) the product number assigned by the manufacturer, and (3) a check character. 5.1.2.2.3 EAN/UCC-13 EAN/UCC-13 is 1
39、3-characters in length and contains (1) a number unique to the manufacturer (can be up to 11- characters) assigned by an EAN International organization outside of North America, (2) the product number assigned by the manufacturer or assigned by an EAN International organization outside of North Amer
40、ica and (3) a check character, which is a calculated modulo 10 character based on the preceding characters. 5.1.2.2.4 The EAN/UCC-14 Like the UCC-12, the EAN/UCC-14 is a globally unique product identification. It contains the three basic components found in the UCC-12 and the EAN/UCC-13, but adds an
41、 additional component called the Indicator Digit “PI”. The Indicator Digit will always be zero (“0”) for the products marked per this guideline (position 14). The check character found in position 1 is a calculated modulo 10 character just like the check character at the end of the UPC-A or EAN-13.

43、4-A For further detail and explanation, please refer to the Uniform Code Councils Universal Product Code Industrial And Commercial Guidelines. NOTEUsers should design inventory and product information databases to provide for a 14- character data field to fully describe a product. EANUCC future init
44、iatives may utilize the Indicator Digit as an integral part of the product identification. 5.1.2.3 Quantity If quantity is a discreet field, the Quantity shall be the quantity in the package or container to which the label is affixed. The default unit of measure for Data Identifier “Q” is EACH or “P
45、IECES”. The default unit of measure for Application Identifier “30” is EACH or “PIECES”. When the EAN.UCC 14-digit GTIN (Global Trade Identification Number) product identifier is used in the Product Identification data field, a separate Quantity field is not required to be included as part of the la
46、bel. When Data Identifiers are used and when a different unit of measure is required as agreed to between trading partners, the Data Identifier “7Q” shall be used with the quantity followed by two alphanumeric characters representing the ANSI X.12.3 unit of measurement code. When Application Identif
47、iers are used and when a different unit of measure is required as agreed to between trading partners, one of the Application Identifiers in the “3nn” series shall be used with a decimal point indicator and the quantity. ANSI MH10.8.2 and the General EAN.UCC Specifications list the specific Applicati
48、on Identifiers. Certain Item Identification codes imply a quantity other than one. In such cases a discrete quantity identifier is not required. The maximum length of this data element shall be 8 numeric characters, excluding identifiers and other overhead characters. The quantity data field should
49、be in the format in Table 4 and Table 5. Table 4 Data Identifier Data Identifier Data field Data characteristics Type/length Description Examples show encoded characters.
