DIN EN 1573:2016-02 EN 1573:2015 (E) 4 Introduction The use of electronic data interchange (EDI) in association with the physical transport and handling of goods requires a clear and unique id
23、entifier linking the electronic data and the transport unit. Bar coded transport labels are in widespread use in European industry. There exists a number of different standards many designed to meet the requirements of the specific industry sector. For effective and economic use within, and between,
24、 industry sectors a common multi-industry standard is a necessity. The bar code information on the transport label may be used to access the appropriate database that contains detailed information about the transport unit, including information transmitted by electronic messages. In addition a trans
25、port label may contain other information relevant to the trading partners, either encoded in bar codes or printed in a human readable format. This edition of EN 1573, Multi Industry Standard Label (MITL), expands on the 1996 edition by providing advice on usage of a modularized multi industry transp
26、ort label that fulfils both product related requirements as well as transport requirements. This edition also includes additional alternatives for 2D symbols and informative samples of modularized MITLs. DIN EN 1573:2016-02 EN 1573:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard: specifies the general req
27、uirements for the design of transport labels containing linear bar code and two-dimensional symbols for use by a wide range of industries; provides for traceability of transported units via a unique transport unit identifier code or licence plate, and supplemented where necessary by other identified
28、 data presented both in bar code and human readable form; provides a choice of linear bar code and two-dimensional symbologies; specifies quality requirements, classes of bar code density; provides recommendations as to label material, size and the inclusion of free text and any appropriate graphics
29、. This European Standard draws considerably on the content of ISO 15394:2009. As such, common material will not be repeated here but detailed references will be provided to that standard. However, this European Standard: defines some features in a more precise manner for use in the European context;
30、 provides additional advice possible since the publication of ISO 15394:2009. This European Standard can be used as the single source, sufficient for an overview and to enable information flows to be incorporated into business systems. ISO 15394 is more relevant to those who are undertaking detailed
31、 label design, particularly compliant label generating software. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

38、y 3.2 licence plate common term for unique identifier of a transport unit Note 1 to entry: For this European Standard it is specified by the label issuer and applied to a transport unit to provide access to traceability data regardless of content and destination and valid for the lifetime of the tra
39、nsport unit. The term licence plate is used because of the one-to-one relationship between the number and physical transport unit. 3.3 transport unit package intended for transportation comprising one or more articles, wrapped or unwrapped, and when multiple articles constrained to form a unit 4 Gen
40、eral concepts 4.1 Principles The purpose of a bar code label is apart from unique identification of the package- to facilitate the automatic exchange of data among all members within a channel of distribution, e.g. supplier, carrier, purchaser, other intermediaries. The amount of data in linear bar
41、code, two-dimensional symbol, and in human readable form is dependent on the requirements of the trading partners. Where a bar code label is used in conjunction with electronic databases and/or electronic message standards, the amount of data may be significantly reduced by the use of a common manda
42、tory data element (the unique transport unit identifier). Trading partners, have different information requirements. Some information may be common to two or more trading partners while other information may be specific to a single trading partner. Information for various trading partners becomes av
43、ailable at different times, e g: order processing information at the time of processing the order; product specific information at the point of manufacture or packaging; DINEN 1573:2016-02EN 1573:2015 (E) 7 transport information at the time of shipment. Trading partners can find it necessary to incl
44、ude additional data elements dealing with the above which may be presented both for automatic data capture from the linear bar code or two-dimensional symbol and for processing in a human readable form. 4.2 Unit load and transport package For the purposes of this European Standard, a unit load is co
45、nsidered to be one or more transport packages or other items placed in a container or held together by means such as pallet, slip sheet, strapping, interlocking, glue, shrink wrap, or net wrap, making them suitable for transport, stacking, and storage as a unit. For the purposes of this European Sta
46、ndard a transport package is considered to be a package intended for the transportation and handling of one or more articles, smaller packages, or bulk material. Both unit loads and transport packages are referred to as transport units in this document. 4.3 Unique transport unit identifier A unique
47、transport unit identifier is assigned to each individual transport unit. This is a basic requirement for all label formats specified by this European Standard. The unique identifier or “licence plate” is the key providing access to information stored in computer files and it may be transmitted by el
48、ectronic communication between trading partners. The unique identifier may be used by all of the trading partners to retrieve information about the transport unit itself or about the status of the physical movement of the transport unit along the supply chain. It enables systems to track and trace i
49、ndividual transport units. 5 Data elements 5.1 Data identifiers Data elements in the linear bar codes shall include data identifiers in accordance with ISO/IEC 15418. GS1 application identifiers (in accordance with ISO/IEC 15418) shall only be used in conjunction with GS1 subset of Code 128 symbology (in accordance with ISO/IEC 15417). ASC MH10 Data Identifiers (in accordance with ISO/IEC 15418) shall be used in conjunction with either C
