CEN/TC 225/WG 4 - Applications

The RFID tag location, tag data content and functional requirements have been developed for application on the main line railway networks. Other networks (such as metro) could apply to this document but are outside of its scope.
This document contains:
-   description of the RFID tag installation location;
-   description of the RFID tag data content;
-   description of the functional requirements in relation to the RFID tag track side reading performance.

This document specifies requirements for labels to be used on distribution units (boxes, cartons, bags, etc.), and logistic units (pallets, cages, trolleys, etc.) for fishery and aquaculture products, ensuring uniform labels with human readable text and bar codes using a common data set, thereby fulfilling EU regulations and facilitating traceability.
NOTE   Other labelling systems could also address European regulatory requirements.
This document does not address the exchange of any information by means other than the use of labels
The technologies referred to in this document are examples of methods that are suitable to provide product traceability.
This document does not cover requirements on the labelling or marking of consumer packaging but aims to ensure that the necessary information for consumer packaging labelling or marking is available through the supply chain.

This document defines a concept for building data structures (including data elements, syntax and semantics) for type plates with a RFID transponder (including HF, UHF, NFC), 2D symbol (including DataMatrix, QR-Code) and human readable text in a consistent way.
This document also defines a minimum set of consistent data that are needed on the data carriers when multiple data carrier techniques are used on the same item.
This document also gives guidance for creating specific applications standards, to support interoperability and backward compatibility.
The processes related to the usage of type plates are not in scope of this document.

This European Standard:
-   specifies the general requirements for the design of transport labels containing linear bar code and two-dimensional symbols for use by a wide range of industries;
-   provides for traceability of transported units via a unique transport unit identifier code or 'licence plate', and supplemented where necessary by other identified data presented both in bar code and human readable form;
-   provides a choice of linear bar code and two-dimensional symbologies;
-   specifies quality requirements, classes of bar code density;
-   provides recommendations as to label material, size and the inclusion of free text and any appropriate graphics.
This European Standard draws considerably on the content of ISO 15394:2009. As such, common material will not be repeated here but detailed references will be provided to that standard. However, this European Standard:
-   defines some features in a more precise manner for use in the European context;
-   provides additional advice possible since the publication of ISO 15394:2009.
This European Standard can be used as the single source, sufficient for an overview and to enable information flows to be incorporated into business systems. ISO 15394 is more relevant to those who are undertaking detailed label design, particularly compliant label generating software.

This European Standard specifies the general requirements for the design of bar coded transport labels for use by a wide range of industries. It provides for traceability of transported units by automatic access via a 'license plate' printed in bar code and supplemented where necessary by other identified data presented both in bar code and human readable form.

This European prestandard specifies the requirements for labels containing human readable and bar coded information for fixing to steel products for the purpose of dispatch, transport and reception. It provides for two formats of label, that is, a large and samll label the application of which depends on the type, size and shape of the steel product. Data areas are defined and the associated information specified both as to content and characters to be used and where expressed in bar code the bar code identifiers and symbology are specified.
