4 Basic requirements
4.1 General
The two dimensional barcodes for traceability shall be based on the identification object
corresponding to the traceability system; an appropriate data structure shall be selected,
to be in one-to-one correspondence with its traceability accuracy. A two dimensional
barcode for traceability shall be given when the traceability unit is generated; the
barcode shall accompany the entire life cycle of the traceability unit. The coding of the
two dimensional barcodes for traceability shall adopt the international common coding
technology; the identification of the two dimensional barcodes for traceability shall
adopt the two-dimensional code symbology with international standards or national
standards.
4.2 Identification objects
The identification objects of the two dimensional barcodes for traceability are
traceability participants, traceability units, physical locations and transaction
information. Among them, traceability units include trade traceability unit, logistics
traceability unit, freight traceability unit, asset traceability unit and document
traceability unit.
5 Data structure
5.1 General requirements
5.1.1 Data structure types
The data structure of the two dimensional barcodes for traceability is divided into coded
data structure and URL data structure. Refer to 5.1.2 for coded data structure, and 5.1.3
for URL data structure.
5.1.2 Coded data structure
The coded data structure consists of one or more required unit data string(s) and
optional unit data string(s) in sequence. Each unit data string consists of an application
identifier (AI) and an application identifier data field. The application identifier shall
comply with the provisions of GB/T 16986-2018; the meaning, format and unit data
string name of the application identifier and its corresponding data coding shall comply
with the provisions of Appendix A. The characters shall contain all the characters in
Table 2 of GB/T 1988-1998, and shall comply with the provisions of Appendix B.
6 Information processing
6.1 Analysis of coded data structures
When the terminal scans and reads the two dimensional barcode for traceability of the
traceability unit, the information carried by the two-dimensional code shall be analyzed.
For each unit data string contained in the two dimensional barcode for traceability of
the traceability unit, according to the analyzed application identifier, look up table A.1
to obtain the name of the unit data string and the corresponding application identifier
data field and transmit it to the local information management system or network
information system for processing. The name of the unit data string and the
corresponding application identifier data field shall be separated by “:”, and the
information of different unit data strings shall be displayed in separate lines.
EXAMPLE:
The encoded information character string in the two dimensional barcode for
traceability of a trade traceability unit is:
(01)06901234567892(10)A1000B0000(21)C51031902101083826
The encoded information format obtained after the terminal scans the two dimensional
barcode for traceability of the trade traceability unit is:
Global Trade Item Number: 06901234567892
Batch or Lot Number: A1000B0000
Serial Number: C51031902101083826
Note: The brackets on both sides of the application identifier (such as “01”, “10”, “21”,
etc.) in the example of the encoded data structure are only for the convenience
of distinguishing the application identifier; they are not part of the identifier, and
shall not be stored in the two-dimensional code.
6.2 Information services for URL data structures
When the terminal scans the two dimensional barcode for traceability, according to the
interface and parameter definition of the relevant traceability service, access the service
address pointed to by the URI in the two dimensional barcode for traceability to obtain
the relevant traceability service information.
7 Symbols
7.1 Symbology
The two-dimensional code symbology with international or national standards such as
ISO Han Xin Code, QR Code or Data Matrix Code shall be used for two dimensional
barcodes for traceability.
7.2 Size
The size of the two dimensional barcodes for traceability shall be comprehensively
determined according to the coding content, error correction level, reading device and
system, and the allowable space of the label. If necessary, it needs to be determined by
relevant adaptive experiments. The minimum module size should not be less than 0.254
mm.
7.3 Location
The identification carrier of the two dimensional barcodes for traceability shall be
pasted or etched on the traceability unit, or attached to the tray containing the
traceability unit or the attached document, until the traceability unit is no longer
required. The selection of the location of the two dimensional barcodes for traceability
shall meet the following conditions:
-- The selection of the identification location shall ensure that the identification
symbol is not deformed or defaced;
-- The selection of the identification location shall be easy to scan and easy to read.
8 Symbol quality requirements
8.1 Requirements for symbol quality grade
The symbol grade of the two-dimensional barcode for traceability shall not be lower
than 1.5/××/660. Where:
