Application Identifiers — UCC/EAN APPLICATION IDENTIFIER

An Application Identifier is a prefix code used to identify the meaning and the format of the
data that follows it (data field).

There are AIs for identification, traceability, dates, quantity, measurements, locations, and
many other types of information.

For example, the AI for batch number is 10, and the batch number AI is always followed by an
alphanumeric batch code not to exceed 20-characters.
The UCC/EAN Application Identifiers provide an open standard that can be used and
understood by all companies in the trading chain, regardless of the company that originally
issued the codes.
