Introduction

Core Framework of the Standard

Identifier Type Code Structure Management Organization Typical Application Areas
Application Identifier (AI) 2-4 digits GS1 International Coding Association Supply Chain Logistics, Commodity Circulation
Data Identifier (DI) 1 letter or 1-3 digits + letter suffix ANSI MH10 Working Group Industrial Manufacturing, Special Industries

Key Technical Features

1. Data Identifier Classification System

The standard divides data identifiers into 26 general categories, including:

  • Packaging Information Category (B Series): Contains freight unit identifications such as container code and carrier number
  • Article Information Category (P Series): Covers product identification elements such as GTIN-14 and part number
  • Traceability Category (S/T Series): Realizes traceability management of serial number, batch number, etc. throughout the life cycle of the entity

2. Coding Format Specification

Symbol Meaning Application Example
a..i Up to i letters Vessel country code (20B)
n6 Fixed length 6 digits Date identifier (YYMMDD)
an..35 Up to 35 alphanumeric digits Transport unit license number (1J)

Typical application scenarios

Dangerous goods transportation management

Used in combination:

  • 14B (IMDG dangerous goods classification)
  • 15B (UN dangerous goods number)
  • 21B (electronic box seal code)

The entire process of dangerous goods transportation can be visually monitored, in compliance with the requirements of international maritime dangerous goods regulations.

Smart Manufacturing Traceability

Use S series identifiers to build a multi-level traceability system:

  1. 50S-54S: Packaging level additional identification
  2. 30S: Component serial number association
  3. 96S: EPC-96 encoding supports RFID applications

Implementation Suggestions

System Docking Solution

Business Links Recommended Identifiers Data Interaction Requirements
Warehousing Management 8S(SSCC)+4B(SCAC) Compatible with WMS System Coding
Transportation tracking 19B (transport reference number) + 21B (electronic box seal) Need to support ISO18185 protocol

Notes during the transition period

  • The existing GS1 system needs to expand the DI identification parsing capability
  • Industrial equipment identification should give priority to the combination of P series and S series
  • Cross-border logistics needs to simultaneously process ISO15459 and GB/T2659 code conversion
