GS1 EPC Tag Data Standard 1.6 - Indicod-Ecr

TermEPC Bank (of aGen 2 RFIDTag)EPC BinaryEncodingEPC BinaryEncodingSchemeEPC PureIdentity URIDefinedWhere[UHFC1G2]Section 13Section 13Section 6MeaningBank 01 of a Gen 2 RFID Tag as specified in[UHFC1G2]. The EPC Bank holds the EPC BinaryEncoding of an EPC, together with additional controlinformation as specified in Section 8.A compact encoding of an Electronic Product Code,together with a filter value (if the encoding schemeincludes a filter value), into a binary bit string that issuitable for storage in RFID Tags, including the EPCMemory Bank of a Gen 2 RFID Tag. Owing totradeoffs between data capacity and the number ofbits in the encoded value, more than one binaryencoding scheme exists for certain EPC schemes.A particular format for the encoding of an ElectronicProduct Code, together with a Filter Value in somecases, into an EPC Binary Encoding. Each EPCScheme has at least one corresponding EPC BinaryEncoding Scheme. from a specified combination ofdata elements. Owing to tradeoffs between datacapacity and the number of bits in the encoded value,more than one binary encoding scheme exists forcertain EPC schemes. An EPC Binary Encodingbegins with an 8-bit header that identifies whichbinary encoding scheme is used for that binaryencoding; this serves to identify how the remainder ofthe binary encoding is to be interpreted.See Pure Identity EPC URI.EPC Raw URI Section 12 A representation of the complete contents of the EPCMemory Bank of a Gen 2 RFID Tag,EPC Scheme Section 6 A particular format for the construction of anElectronic Product Code from a specifiedcombination of data elements. A Pure Identity EPCURI begins with the name of the EPC Scheme usedfor that URI, which both serves to ensure globaluniqueness of the complete URI as well as identifyhow the remainder of the URI is to be interpreted.Each type of GS1 Key has a corresponding EPCScheme that allows for the construction of an EPCthat corresponds to the value of a GS1 Key, undercertain conditions. Other EPC Schemes exist thatallow for construction of EPCs not related to GS1keys.Copyright ©2005- 2011 GS1 AISBL, All Rights Reserved. Page 138 of 218
