(Main)Identification Link - Part 1: General requirements
Identification Link - Part 1: General requirements
IEC 61406-1:2022 specifies minimum requirements for a globally unique identification of physical objects which also constitutes a link to its related digital information. This identification is designated hereinafter as "Identification Link" (IL), with the encoded data designated as IL string. The IL string has the data-format of a link (URL). The IL is machine-readable and is attached to the physical object in a 2D symbol or NFC tag. The requirements in this standard apply to physical objects: - that are provided by the manufacturer as an individual unit, - and that have already been given a unique identity by the manufacturer. This document does not specify any requirements on the content and the layout of nameplates/typeplates (e.g. spatial arrangement, content of the plain texts, approval symbols etc.).
Identifizierungslink - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen
Lien d'identification - Partie 1 : Exigences générales
L'IEC 61406-1:2022 spécifie les exigences minimales pour permettre une identification unique et globale des objets physiques, qui constitue également un renvoi vers ses informations numériques connexes. Cette identification est par la suite appelée "lien d’identification" (IL), les données codées étant désignées "chaîne IL". La chaîne IL a le format de données d’un lien (URL). L’IL est lisible par machine et associé à l’objet physique sous la forme d’un symbole 2D ou d’une balise NFC. Les exigences de la présente norme s’appliquent aux objets physiques: - qui sont fournis par le fabricant sous forme d’unité individuelle; - et auxquels le fabricant a déjà attribué une identité unique. Le présent document ne spécifie aucune exigence relative au contenu et à la disposition des plaques signalétiques (par exemple organisation spatiale, contenu des textes bruts, symboles d’homologation, etc.).
Identifikacijska povezava - 1. del: Splošne zahteve (IEC 61406-1:2022)
Standard IEC 61406-1:2022 določa minimalne zahteve za globalno enolično identifikacijo fizičnih objektov, ki vključuje tudi povezavo z zadevnimi digitalnimi informacijami. Ta identifikacija se v nadaljevanju imenuje »identifikacijska povezava« (IL), pri čemer se šifrirani podatki določijo kot niz identifikacijske povezave. Oblika zapisa podatkov niza identifikacijske povezave je povezava (URL). Identifikacijska povezava je strojno berljiva in povezana s fizičnim objektom v simbolu 2D ali oznaki NFC. Zahteve v tem standardu se uporabljajo za fizične objekte:
– ki jih proizvajalec zagotovi kot individualno enoto; in
– ki jim je proizvajalec že dodelil enolično identiteto.
Ta dokument ne določa zahtev glede vsebine in ureditve napisnih/tipskih ploščic (npr. prostorska razporeditev, vsebina navadnega besedila, oznake odobritve itd.).
