Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national 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 and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 15418 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 31, Automatic identification and data capture techniques.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 15418:1999), of which it constitutes a
minor revision.

1 Scope
This International Standard:
⎯ specifies sets of Data Identifiers and Application Identifiers for the purpose of identifying encoded data;
⎯ identifies the organizations responsible for their maintenance.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced

3 Terms, definitions and documentation notation conventions
For the purposes of this document, the terms, definitions and documentation notation conventions given in
ISO/IEC 19762 (all parts) apply.
4 Data Identifiers and Application Identifiers
Where appropriate, information encoded shall be identified in accordance with one of the following sets of
identifiers:
a) GS1 Application Identifiers;
b) ASC MH10 Data Identifiers.
4.1 GS1 Application Identifiers
The GS1 item identification system and related encodation standard are complemented by the GS1
maintained Application Identifiers, hereafter referred to as “GS1 Application Identifiers” or “GS1 AIs”. This
standard comprises two principal elements that are the key to any encoding system: the data content and the
data carrier.

ISO/IEC 15418:2009(E)
The use of GS1 AIs is subject to the rules established by GS1.
GS1 AIs identify generic and simple data fields for use in cross-sectorial and international supply chain
applications. The GS1 General Specifications provide rules for the definition, format and structure of the data
fields.
Each GS1 AI consists of two or more characters. The first two digits determine the length of the AI. A list of
two-digit codes indicating the predefined length of existing and future AIs and their data fields is available from
the Application Identifier Maintenance Body specified in Clause 5.
4.2 ASC MH10 Data Identifiers
The full list of registered ASC MH10 Data Identifiers and the full specification for their use are given in
ANSI MH10.8.2, hereafter referred to as the “ASC MH10 Data Identifiers”
ASC MH10 Data Identifiers may be used with any alphanumeric data carrier and are designed to ensure
cross-industry commonality of data identifiers used in automatic identification technologies.
ASC MH10 Data Identifiers have a format of one alphabetic character alone, or one alphabetic character
prefixed by one, two or three numeric characters.
Some ASC MH10 Data Identifiers may incorporate format definitions. The American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) has designated ANSI MH10.8.2 as a “Continuous Maintenance” standard. As such, the official
standard with maintenance upda
