This European Standard shall be given the status of a nat
21、ional standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2005 This document supersedes ENV 606:1992. This document is a development of and replaces the European Pre-st
22、andard ENV 606 approved by CEN in August 1992 as a prospective standard for provisional application. That provisional application in the trading of steel products together with the experience in its use and the publication of ISO 15394, provide the basis on which this document is established. This d
23、ocument, therefore, complies with ISO 15394 Bar code and two dimensional symbols for shipping, transport and receiving labels. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Be
24、lgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. EN 606:2004 (E) 5 Introduction In commo
25、n with most other industrial products, steel products, that is those defined in EN 10079, when despatched by the manufacturer, referred to in the document as the supplier, require labelling that will ensure delivery to the correct address of the buyer and allow accurate access to relevant informatio
26、n in the parties systems to initiate subsequent activities, e.g. recording, storing, handling, transportation, processing, invoicing, etc. The labels specified in this document provide standard elements of identifiable information formatted in standard layouts with bar codes according to standard sy
27、mbologies. It is considered that the use of this document will improve efficiency, reduce costs, provide for traceability (e.g. to EN ISO 9001) and minimise the proliferation of label designs. Maximum advantage is gained when such labels provide the physical link in business transactions between the
28、 parties using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems allowing faster and accurate input and product transfer procedures and other associated advantages of electronic data processing. An Annex is included mapping those data elements that either shall or may be included on a bar coded label and th
29、e despatch advice message (DESADV) according to the EDIFACT directory D96.A. Steel products are manufactured and delivered in a variety of different shapes, sizes and methods of packaging and transport which can present problems as to the fixing and security of labels. This document specifies the tw
30、o label formats established previously in ENV 606:1992 which have found acceptance in the market place. Two other transport label formats and two handling label ones are specified providing flexibility as to their formats but with certain mandatory data elements, e.g. licence plate number, and a cho
31、ice of other data elements depending upon the requirements of the trading parties. The labels specified in this document are not necessarily associated with any particular steel product form; it is the responsibility of the supplier to select the label most appropriate to the trading parties require
32、ments. All labels include the data element Licence plate number, that is the unique identification of a transport unit as set out in ISO/IEC 15459 and required in ISO 15394. An Annex in this document sets out the structure of such a licence plate number and the means to obtain the necessary codes. E
33、N 606:2004 (E) 6 1 Scope This document specifies the requirements for labels containing human readable and bar coded information for fixing to steel products for the purpose of despatch, transport, and reception in accordance with the requirements of ISO 15394. Data elements are specified together w
34、ith their status, location on the label, the appropriate data identifier and choice of bar code symbology. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Colou
45、r printing may be used for images, e.g. logos, symbols. Label materials and their fixing shall be selected taking account of the following: a) security of fixing for the useful life of the label. Self-adhesive label substrate shall be of 80 g/m 2weight minimum. Labels that are left free in a label h
46、older shall have a substrate of 150 g/m 2minimum. Attention should be given when using self-adhesive labels with their protective film as they have different dilatation values which may lead to bending of the label over the label holder; b) maintenance of readability, both visually and automatically
47、 for its useful life, i.e. despatch, transport, delivery and storage of the transport unit; c) environment, e.g. contamination, heat, and light, with particular regard to the temperature of the steel product during fixing, delivery and storage; d) ultimate disposal. 4.3 Active area Labels shall have
48、 a defined active area. Label size may exceed the active area at the discretion of the label issuer for the purpose of including other information and for fixing to the transport unit.
