EAN International ExplainedEAN International Explained
The Global EAN.UCC system:
Delivers a multi industry identification standard based on a structured, non significant numbering system
Endorsed set of symbologies (bar codes) and other data carriers (RFId) as well as messaging standards
System identifies: products and product attributes, services, shipments, assets, locations, etc.
Is a recognized ISO standard and uses UN/EDIFACT
EPCglobal…EPCglobal…
EPCglobal is leading the development and
adoption of industry-driven technology standards for the
revolutionary Electronic Product Code (EPC)
Network to support the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) in today’s fast-moving,
information rich trading networks.

What future for bar codes?What future for bar codes?
RFID offers some important advantages:
Non line of sight
Read/write
‘Near simultaneous’ multiple detection
But there are drawbacks - not least cost!The future will be a hybrid world -

Principles of TraceabilityPrinciples of Traceability
The ability to find the history, use or localisation of an item by:
Recording, and storing, every movement of an item in the supply chain
Registering the source of the item
Maintaining the database information for the life-cycle of the product
Traceability in actionTraceability in action
Product traceability
to identify defective lots
to recall concerned products
Logistic traceability
to follow the logistic unit through the supply chain
to enable the capture of detailed information
to allow a response in case of problem

The SSCCThe SSCC
The Serial Shipping Container Code is a standard for the individual identification of logistic units (pallets, barrels, crates, containers,...)
The SSCC can be used by all parties in the supply chain as a “KEY” to the relevant information held in computer files
The Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC)The Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC)
It is a non-significant, fixed length, 18 digits number which contains no classifying elements. The whole number identifies the logistic unit.

Industry Endorsements
What Logistics Users Are Saying about EAN.UCC System
FIATA – International Federation of Freight Forwarders
FIATA – International Federation of Freight Forwarders
Memorandum of Understanding Signed in August 2001
“FIATA will participate in the standards development work of EAN International related to the transport sector”
“FIATA will promote the use of the existing EANUCC standards within the transport and freight forwarding environment”
“FIATA will encourage its national and direct members to become members of national EAN organisations”
Australian Logistics CouncilAustralian Logistics Council
Barcoding the Logistics Industry (1/4/03)
Compatible along the supply chain
Faster delivery of goods, fewer handling and shipping errors, better inventory management and a reduction of ordering and replenishing times
Will make it easier for Australian exporters to meet the tightened security requirements
Swedish International Freight AssociationSwedish International Freight Association
Issued a recommendation last year, based on EAN•UCC standards for Shipment ID
Builds upon best practice in international trade and industry
“SSCC is the most widespread concept for tracking of individual packages, recommended by FIATA”
EAN•UCC organization stands as a guarantee for long lasting stability
EAN Standard’s Role in Trade FacilitationEAN Standard’s Role in Trade Facilitation
“Trader id” concept via the GLN (Global Location Number) which can be validated through internet
Can be applied to all international goods movements, unique at both national and international level
Facilitation of trade-customs partnership
Minimize bottlenecks in the global supply chain
