Scope:
Foreword
The purpose of this standard is to assist manufacturers of consumer electronics in properly bar coding products that will move through the retail channel of distribution to the ultimate consumer. Use of the 12 digit universal product code, version “A” (UPC-A), and/or the 13 digit European Article Numbering System (EAN), bar codes are being accepted worldwide for point-of-sale data capture by retailers. These bar codes uniquely identify the manufacturer and the product at the Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) level. There is further need to identify a consumer electronics product uniquely by means of a serial number. Bar coding a product’s serial number will assist manufacturers and retailers in areas such as:
• Manufacturer distribution inventory control.
• Dealer receiving inventory control.
• Warranty control and reporting.
• Automated warranty establishment.
• Service contracts.
• Warranty claim for Verifying revision level.
