11、l Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by
12、the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of
13、information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the di
14、fferent types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC
15、 shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).Any trade name used in this docume

18、008), which has been technically revised.ISO/IEC 15459 consists of the following parts (as a result of the reconstruction of previously published parts 1 to 8), under the general title Information technology Automatic identification and data capture techniques Unique identification : Part 1: Individ

20、es can occur at many different levels, at item level, on the 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 an
21、d trace such distinct entities so that reference can be made 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 info
22、rmation can be accessed using EDI exchange or another appropriate 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 con
23、stituent part of that which is being uniquely identified so 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 po
24、tential to encode an identity. It is expected that application 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, a
25、re often made available from the Issuing Agency.The identity for products and product packages defined in this part of ISO/IEC 15459, and represented in AIDC media attached to the product or product package, meets the needs defined in ISO/IEC 15459-3, Common Rules.

26、BS ISO/IEC 15459-4:2014BS ISO/IEC 15459-4:2014Information technology Automatic identification and data capture techniques Unique identification Part 4: Individual products and product packages1 ScopeThis part of ISO/IEC 15459 specifies a unique string of characters for the identification of individu
27、al products and product packages. The character string is intended to be represented in a linear bar code symbol or two-dimensional symbol or other AIDC media attached to the entity to meet management needs. To address management needs different classes of identities are recognized in the various pa
28、rts of ISO/IEC 15459, which allows different requirements to be met by the identities associated with each class.The rules for the identification of an individual occurrence of a product or product package, understood to mean the layers zero and one defined in the International Standards ISO 17367 a
29、nd ISO 17366, respectively, are defined and supported by examples.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

33、duct packagesEach individual product or product package (See Annex A) shall be unambiguously identified by a qualifier and a string as defined in Clause 5 so that individual products or product packages of a given type can be distinguished from other types. The permitted combinations of qualifier an
34、d string are determined by the Issuing Agency.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 15459-4:2014(E) ISO/IEC 2014 All rights reserved 1BS ISO/IEC 15459-4:2014ISO/IEC 15459-4:2014(E)If there is only one individual product in a product package, or one individual product is seen as dominant in the product pack
35、age, the product package may use the identity as the included sole or dominant individual product (see Clause 4.1). In other cases a product package shall have its own identity, making it possible to differentiate the product package from the included individual products.Notwithstanding the above, w
36、here regulatory requirements or industry practice dictate it may be necessary to assign an identity to the only or all the individual products in a package.4.1 Qualifiers for individual products and product packagesThe qualifier component of an identity for a product or product package may use any d
37、ata format supported by ISO/IEC 15434 or ISO/IEC 9834-1. What formats may 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 relevant to
38、this standard;4.1.1 Identity using a serial component GS1 Application Identifiers 8004If 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 qual

47、product packages5.1 GeneralAn identity is assigned to an individual product or product package by an 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 15459-2.5.2 Maximum number of characters perm
48、issible in an identityThe identity for individual products and product packages shall not contain more than 50 characters.For efficient use within various AIDC data carrier systems, it is recommended that the number of characters to be coded by one line linear bar code should not exceed 20 character
49、s, and number of characters should be kept as short as possible regardless of the permissible maximum of 50 characters.5.3 Permissible character sets in an identityThe identity shall only contain upper-case alphabetic characters and numeric digits of 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 processin
