Packaging — Labelling and direct product marking with linear bar code and two-dimensional symbols
ISO 28219:2017 - defines minimum requirements for identifying items, - provides guidelines for item marking with machine-readable symbols, - covers both labels and direct marking of items, - includes testing procedures for label adhesive characteristics and mark durability, - provides guidance for the formatting on the label of data presented in linear bar code, two-dimensional symbol or human-readable form, - is intended for applications which include, but are not limited to, support of systems that automate the control of items during the processes of: - production, - inventory, - distribution, - field service, - point of sale, - point of care, - repair, and - is intended to include, but it is not limited to, multiple industries including: - automotive, - aerospace, - chemical, - consumer items, - electronics, - health care, - marine, - rail, - telecommunications. The location and application method of the marking are not defined (these will be reviewed and agreed upon by suppliers and manufacturers and their trading partners before implementing ISO 28219:2017). ISO 28219:2017 does not supersede or replace any applicable safety or regulatory marking or labelling requirements. ISO 28219:2017 is meant to satisfy the minimum item marking requirements of numerous applications and industry groups and as such its applicability is to a wide range of industries, each of which may have specific implementation guidelines for it. ISO 28219:2017 is to be applied in addition to any other mandated labelling direct-marking requirements. The labelling and direct marking requirement of ISO 28219:2017 and other standards can be combined into one label or marking area or appear as separate labels or marking areas. ISO 28219:2017 uses the terms "part marking" and "item marking" interchangeably. Unless otherwise stated, ISO 28219:2017 will use the term "item marking" to describe both the labelling and direct part marking (DPM) of an item, where DPM includes, but is not limited to, altering (e.g. dot peen, laser etch, chemical etch), as well as additive type processes (e.g. ink jet, vacuum deposition). The purpose of ISO 28219:2017 is to establish the machine-readable (linear, two-dimensional, and composite symbols) and human-readable content for direct marking and labelling of items, parts, and components. ISO 28219:2017 provides a means for items, parts and components to be marked, and read in either fixtured or hand-held scanning environments at any manufacturer's facility and then read by customers purchasing items for subsequent manufacturing operations or for final end use. Intended applications include, but are not limited to, supply chain applications, e.g. inventory, distribution, manufacturing, quality control, acquisition, transportation, supply, repair, and disposal. The figures are illustrative and not necessarily to scale or to the quality requirements specified in ISO 28219:2017.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
Today, global industries widely use machine-readable markings on products for inventory control,
quality control, and product life cycle management. Common technologies, data structures,
conformance, and applications standards are necessary to enable all trading partners to use such
markings internally and throughout the supply chain.
A number of different product labelling and marking standards exist, each designed to meet the
requirements of the specific industry sector. For effective and economic use within and between
industry sectors, one common multi-industry standard is a necessity.
A standard linear bar code or two-dimensional symbol marked on a product or part will facilitate the
automation of inventory control, quality control, and product life cycle management. The linear bar code
or two-dimensional symbol information on the product can be used as a key to access the appropriate
database that contains detailed information about the product, including information transmitted via
EDI. In addition, a product mark can contain other information as agreed between the trading partners.
This document does not supersede or replace any applicable safety or regulatory marking or labelling
requirements. This document is meant to satisfy the minimum product package requirements of
numerous applications and industry groups. As such, its applicability is to a wide range of industries,
each of which can have specific implementation guidelines for this document. This document is intended
to be applied in addition to any other mandated labelling requirements.
This document supersedes and replaces ANS MH10.8.7.
This document supersedes and replaces CEA-802.
This document supersedes and replaces CEA-621-A.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 28219:2017(E)

— is intended for applications which include, but are not limited to, support of systems that automate
the control of items during the processes of:
— production,
— inventory,
— distribution,
— field service,
— point of sale,
— point of care,
— repair, and
— is intended to include, but it is not limited to, multiple industries including:
— automotive,
— aerospace,
— chemical,
— consumer items,
— electronics,
— health care,
— marine,
— rail,
— telecommunications.
The location and application method of the marking are not defined (these will be reviewed and agreed
upon by suppliers and manufacturers and their trading partners before implementing this document).
This document does not supersede or replace any applicable safety or regulatory marking or labelling
requirements. This document is meant to satisfy the minimum item marking requirements of numerous
applications and industry groups and as such its applicability is to a wide range of industries, each of
which may have specific implementation guidelines for it. This document is to be applied in addition to
any other mandated labelling direct-marking requirements.
The labelling and direct marking requirement of this document and other standards can be combined
into one label or marking area or appear as separate labels or marking areas.
This document uses the terms “part marking” and “item marking” interchangeably. Unless otherwise
stated, this document will use the term “item marking” to describe both the labelling and direct part
marking (DPM) of an item, where DPM includes, but is not limited to, altering (e.g. dot peen, laser etch,
chemical etch), as well as additive type processes (e.g. ink jet, vacuum deposition).
The purpose of this document is to establish the machine-readable (linear, two-dimensional, and
composite symbols) and human-readable content for direct marking and labelling of items, parts, and
components.
This document provides a means for items, parts and components to be marked, and read in either
fixtured or hand-held scanning environments at any manufacturer’s facility and then read by customers
purchasing items for subsequent manufacturing operations or for final end use. Intended applications
include, but are not limited to, supply chain applications, e.g. inventory, distribution, manufacturing,
quality control, acquisition, transportation, supply, repair, and disposal.
