信息技术.唯一标识符.第4部分:供应链管理的唯一标识符

[中文适用范围]： ISO/IEC 15459 的这一部分指定了一个唯一的、无意义的字符串作为供应链管理的唯一标识符。 该字符串旨在表示在条形码标签或附加到物品上的其他 AIDC 介质中，以满足供应链管理需求。 为了满足管理需求，ISO/IEC 15459 的各个部分都识别了不同类别的项目，这允许通过与每个类别关联的唯一标识符来满足不同的要求。 这些规则是为供应链管理的唯一标识符定义的，用于识别项目的唯一出现，理解为第 0 层和第 1 层，将在两个未来的国际标准（分别为 ISO 17367 和 ISO 17366）中定义。 [外文原描述]： Unique identification can occur at many different levels in the supply chain, at the transport unit, at the item level, and elsewhere. Such distinct entities are often handled by several parties: the sender, the receiver, one or more carriers, customs authorities, etc. Each of these parties must be able to identify and trace the item so that reference can be made to associated information such as configuration, maintenance history, address, order number, contents of the item, weight, sender, batch or lot number, etc. The information is often held on computer systems, and may be exchanged between parties involved via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and XML (eXtensible Markup Language) messages. There are considerable benefits if the identity of the item is represented in bar code format, or other AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture) media and attached to or made a constituent part of that which is being uniquely identified so that it can be read electronically, thus minimising 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 item;the identifier is unique within the class and cannot appear on any other item of the class during the lifetime of the item. The unique identifier for supply chain management defined in ISO/IEC 15459-4:2006 and represented in a bar code label, two-dimensional symbol, radio-frequency identification tag, or other AIDC media attached to the item meets these needs. All AIDC technologies have the potential to encode a unique identifier. It is expected that application standards for items, using various automatic identification technologies, will be developed based upon the unique identifier as a prime key. These application standards may be made available from the Issuing Agency. ISO/IEC 15459-4:2006 specifies a unique, non-significant string of characters for the unique identifier for supply chain management. The character string is intended to be represented in a bar code label or other AIDC media attached to the item to meet supply chain management needs. To address management needs different classes of items are recognized in the various parts of ISO/IEC 15459, which allows different requirements to be met by the unique identifiers associated with each class. The rules are defined for the unique identifiers for supply chain management to identify the unique occurrence of an item, understood to mean the layers zero and one as will be defined in two future International Standards (ISO 17367 and ISO 17366, respectively).
