3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions, as defined in GB/T 12905 and GB/T 37056, apply
to this document.
3.1
Returnable asset
The packaging, containers or transport equipment, etc., which have certain value
and are reusable.
Note: Such as beer barrels, high-pressure gas cylinders, plastic pallets or crates, etc.
3.2
Individual asset
A physical entity, which has specific properties.
Note: Such as aircraft parts, rolling stock, tractors, etc.
3.3
Individual asset of an assembly
A single asset, which combines multiple parts, components (assemblies).
3.4
Global returnable asset identifier; GRAI
In the commodity barcode system, a code that is used to uniquely identify returnable
asset items on a global scale.
Note: It consists of manufacturer identification code, asset type code, check code, optional
serial number.
[Source: GB/T 37056-2018, 3.10, modified]
3.5
Global individual asset identifier; GIAI
In the commodity barcode system, a code that is used to uniquely identify a single
asset on a global scale.
The rules for compiling the manufacturer identification code shall comply with the
requirements of GB 12904.
4.1.2.2 Asset type code
The asset type code is compiled by the asset owner or manager, who has obtained the
manufacturer identification code AND is guaranteed to be unique.
4.1.2.3 Check code
The check code is obtained, according to the calculation method in Appendix B, based
on the first 13 digits of GRAI.
4.1.2.4 Serial number
The serial number is the responsibility of the asset owner or manager, who obtains the
manufacturer identification code.
4.2 Global individual asset identifier
4.2.1 Code structure
The global individual asset identifier (GIAI) consists of two parts: the manufacturer
identification code and the individual asset reference code, which are code characters
less than or equal to 30 characters. They are divided into four structures, as shown in
Table 2. Among them, the manufacturer identification code consists of 7 ~ 10 digits;
the individual asset reference code consists of 1 ~ 23 code characters. The coded
character set is in accordance with Appendix A.
4.2.2 Compilation rules
4.2.2.1 Manufacturer identification code
The rules for compiling the manufacturer identification code shall comply with the
requirements of GB 12904.
4.2.2.2 Individual asset reference codes
Individual asset reference codes are compiled by the asset owner or manager, who
obtained the manufacturer identification code.
4.3 Individual asset codes for global assemblies
4.3.1 Code structure
The structure of the individual asset codes for global assemblies (GIAI-ASSEMBLY)
is the same as that in Table 2.
4.3.2 Compilation rules
4.3.2.1 Manufacturer identification code
The compilation rules for manufacturer identification code shall comply with GB 12904.
4.3.2.2 Individual asset reference codes for assemblies
See 4.2.2.2 for the compilation rules of individual asset reference codes for assemblies.
5 Barcode representation
When the asset code is represented by a barcode, it shall be used together with the
application identifier. The application identifier of the asset code is as shown in Table
3. The application identifier shall meet the requirements of GB/T 16986. The one-
dimensional barcode adopts GS1-128 barcode, which shall meet the requirements of
GB/T 15425. The two-dimensional code adopts two-dimensional code with GS1 mode,
such as QR code, data matrix code, Han Xin code, which shall comply with the
requirements of GB/T 18284, GB/T 41208, GB/T 21049. The data structure of the
manufacturer-defined website is in accordance with the provisions of 5.5.1.2 and
5.5.2.2 in GB/T 40204-2021. The unit data string and analytical query keywords of the
asset QR code are in accordance with Appendix A of GB/T 40204-2021.
6 Technical requirements for barcode symbol
6.1 Requirements for size and level
The size and level requirements for one-dimensional barcode symbol of assets are in
accordance with Table 4. The size and level requirements for two-dimensional barcode
Appendix B
(Normative)
Calculation method of check code
B.1 Code position number
The code position serial number refers to the serial number from right to left, including
the check code (the code position serial number of the check code is 1).
B.2 Calculation steps
The calculation steps of the check code are as follows:
a) Starting from the code position number 2, sum all the digital codes of even digits;
b) Multiply the sum of step a) by 3;
c) Starting from code position number 3, sum up all the digital codes of odd digits;
d) Add the results of step b) and step c);
e) Subtract the unit digit of the result obtained in step d) from 10, as the check code
(if the unit digit is 0, the check code is 0).
Example: For the 14-digit code 0690123456789X1, see Table B.1 for the calculation method of
the check code.
