6 SIS-ISO/TR 17370:2013 (E) Provläsningsexemplar / Preview Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. In exceptional circumstances, when the technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard ( state of the art, for example), it may decide to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely informative in nature and shall be subject to review every five years in the same manner as an International Standard. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/TR was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging. iv

7 Provläsningsexemplar / Preview SIS-ISO/TR 17370:2013 (E) Introduction Supply chain management makes use of a variety of data carriers, including linear symbols, twodimensional symbols and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Care should be taken when using these data carriers in combination because the data structure of RFID is different from that of the other data carriers. This Technical Report outlines the basic structure of the supply chain layers defined in ISO standards. It describes how to store data in linear symbols, two-dimensional symbols and in RFID. In addition, this document shows the structure of the data transmitted from an interrogator to a host computer. This Technical Report is provided as a guideline for the effective use of these data carriers. RFID technology, especially when equipped with the ability to additionally write data, is essential to traceability in Supply Chain Management (SCM). However, consideration should be given to the following issues for the use of RFID: a) Approximately 10 standards, each having its own air interface and memory structure, have been developed for the RFID technology. Work on the standardization of middleware is currently in progress in order to achieve compatibility among these standards, but middleware that supports various RFID air interfaces is not available at this time. And in addition, operators who handle only one type of RFID do not necessarily need to use middleware. b) The memory size of commonly available RFID is relatively small compared to the size of EDI data requiring standardized compaction methods to address this issue. c) The structure of the data transmitted from a linear or two-dimensional symbol to the host computer is different from the one transmitted from an RFID interrogator. This Technical Report provides a potential solution for dealing with these challenging issues. Those wishing to understand the GS1 approach to similar issues are invited to contact GS1. This document has 11 annexes, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K, all which provide informative information.

In particular, it specifies the relationship of various global standards related to the supply chain, illustrates the types and data structures in the layered supply chain network, specifies the relationship among the layered structure of the supply chain, specifies the management of serial numbers in supply chain management, specifies data storage on the named data carriers, specifies the required data volume for each data carrier, specifies the data structure between the data carrier and the reader (interrogator), specifies the data structure between the host system (computer) and the reader (interrogator), and illustrates complex data carriers (rewritable hybrid media, etc). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

This supply chain further includes reverse logistics and the handling of returned goods. Each of these levels is unique, but the levels overlap. Figure 1 below is a basic concept of supply chain that illustrates the correlative relationship of the supply chain, not a one-to-one representation of physical objects. Figure 1a shows the supply chain model for radio frequency identification (RFID) and Figure 1b shows the supply chain model for optically readable media (ORM). Although several layers in Figure 1 have clear physical counterparts, some items are categorized into more than one layer, depending on their usage. In Figure 1, RPI represents s. In Figure 1, RTI represents Returnable Items, defined in ISO/IEC The use cases of these items introduced to the supply chain management are specified in Annex A.

Most readers available in today s market have the ability to automatically distinguish and read various types of linear and twodimensional symbols, allowing the use of these symbologies without restriction. RFID can be used at various frequencies: 135 khz or lower, 13,56 MHz, 433 MHz, 860 MHz to 960 MHz or 2,45 GHz, and each frequency can have a separate memory structure and communication protocol, making it difficult for existing interrogators to automatically distinguish among the various frequencies. 3
