Describes a unique string of characters for the identification of individual returnable transport items (RTIs).

This part of ISO/IEC15459 specifies a unique string of characters for the identification of individual returnable transport items (RTIs). The character string is intended to be represented in a bar code label or other AIDC media attached to the item to meet management needs. To address management needs different classes of identities are recognized in the various parts of ISO/IEC15459, which allows different requirements to be met by the identities associated with each class.

The rules for the identification for RTIs, with the identity being relevant for the complete life cycle of the item, are defined and supported by example.
