[SOURCE. GB/T 12905-2019, 2.3] 3.2 Two-dimensional code for commodity A two-dimensional code that uniquely identifies products and their attributes worldwide. 3.3 Application identifier Characters that identify the meaning and format of data. NOTE. Generally composed of 2 to 4 digits. [SOURCE. GB/T 16986-2018, 3.1] 3.4 Indicator The first digit of the 14-digit Global Trade Item Code (excluding the digit 0). NOTE. It is used to distinguish different combination packages of the same trade item or to specify variable trade items. [SOURCE. GB/T 36069-2018, 3.1.4, modified]4 Codes and Abbreviated TermsThe following codes and abbreviated terms apply to this Document. AI. Application Identifier GS1.Global Standards One GTIN. Global Trade Item Number HRI. Human Readable Interpretation POS. Point-of-Sale URI. Uniform Resource Identifier5 Data Structure of Two-Dimensional Code for Commodity5.1 Data structure type The data structure of two-dimensional code for commodity is divided into encoding data structure and URL data structure. 5.2 Encoding data structure 5.2.1 Composition of encoding data structure 5.2.3 Consumer product variant unit data string The consumer product variant unit data string shall consist of AI (22) and its corresponding data field. The consumer product variant data field is an alphanumeric string defined by the manufacturer, with a variable length and a maximum length of 20 characters. 5.2.4 Batch number unit data string The batch number unit data string shall consist of AI (10) and its corresponding data field. The batch number data field is an alphanumeric string defined by the manufacturer, with a variable length and a maximum length of 20 characters. 5.2.5 Serial number unit data string The serial number unit data string shall consist of AI (21) and its corresponding data field. The serial number data field is an alphanumeric character defined by the manufacturer, with a variable length and a maximum length of 20 characters. 5.2.6 Attribute information unit data string The attribute information unit data string is in accordance with Table A.1.The unit data string structure of more attribute information should comply with the provisions of GB/T 16986. 5.2.7 Unit data string sequence For the encoded data structure, its unit data string sequence in the bar code symbol is GTIN unit data string, unit data string with predefined length, and unit data string with non-predefined length. Among them. a) Unit data string with predefined length refers to a unit data string with a fixed length, such as the production date unit data string in Table A.1; b) Unit data string with non-predefined length refers to a unit data string with a variable length, such as the consumer product variant, batch number, etc. unit data string in Table A.1. 5.3 URL data structure 5.3.1 Composition of URL data structure The URL data structure consists of network service address (mandatory), GTIN unit data string (mandatory), qualifier unit data string (optional) and attribute information unit data string (optional), as shown in Table 2.According to different network service addresses, the URL data structure is divided into unified URL data structure and customized URL data structure. For URL data structures, the unit data string sequence in the bar code symbol is GTIN unit data string, qualifier unit data string, and attribute information unit data string. And. a) For the three types of unit data strings of consumer product variant, batch number and serial number in the qualifier unit data string, if more than two appear at the same time, they shall be arranged in the above sequence; b) When there are multiple attribute information unit data strings, there is no fixed sequence. It should follow the sequence of predefined length unit data string first and non- predefined length unit data string later; but the same attribute information unit data string shall not appear repeatedly.6 Symbols of Two-Dimensional Code for Commodity6.1 Code system The two-dimensional code for commodity shall use the two-dimensional code system with national standards such as Han Xin code, quick response matrix code and data matrix code, etc.; and shall meet the requirements of GB/T 21049, GB/T 18284 and GB/T 41208, respectively. Among them, when the encoded data structure is used for two-dimensional code symbol representation, the GS1 mode of the relevant code system shall be used for encoding. When the URL data structure uses Han Xin code, the URI mode of Han Xin code should be used. Application examples are shown in Appendix C. 6.2 Size The size of the two-dimensional code symbol for commodity shall be determined based on factors such as the encoding content, error correction level, reading device and system, and printing space, etc. If necessary, it shall be determined after conducting relevant adaptability tests. In a retail environment, a module size of 0.495 mm should be used; the minimum module size should be no less than 0.396 mm; and the maximum module size should be no greater than 0.990 mm. 6.3 Symbol position The basic requirements and placement rules of the two-dimensional code symbol position for commodity shall comply with D.1 and D.2 of Appendix D; and the position requirements for HRI characters shall comply with D.3.7 Symbol Quality of Two-Dimensional Code for Commodity7.1 Quality grade The quality grade of two-dimensional code symbol for commodity should be no lower than 1.5/× ×/660.Where. 1.5 is the symbol grade value; × × is the reference number of the measurement aperture (different application environments, different measurement aperture sizes shall be selected; 12 is selected in retail environments); 660 is the measurement light wavelength, in nm, with an allowable deviation of ±10 nm. 7.2 Quality inspection The quality of two-dimensional code symbol for commodity should be determined according to the following contents. a) Check whether the encoding data structure complies with the provisions of 5.2 and Clause 6; b) Check whether the URL data structure complies with the provisions of 5.3 and Clause 6; c) Refer to GB/T 23704, GB/T 35402, and the symbol quality requirements of this Document to conduct quality inspection on two-dimensional code symbol for commodity. ......Source: Above contents are excerpted from the full-copy PDF -- translated/reviewed by: www.ChineseStandard.net / Wayne Zheng et al.
