External Code lists
There are several code lists used within the EAN·UCC system that are maintained by agencies other than EAN·UCC.  The code lists that are reference in this section apply to several attributes within the trade item as well as other business message standards.
 
Language Code
The Trade Item BMS restricts the use to just the two character language code as specified in ISO 639-1; these codes are lower case. 
 
ISO Code Lists
The following ISO codes lists are used to represent languages (for text attributes), Country and Subdivision (for country of origin and target market), and currencies (for amounts), and the source for the code list.

ISO 639-1 Codes for the representation of names of languages – Part 1: Alpha-2 code 2002

Codes for representation of currencies and funds 2001

GS1 has three choices for code values:
  • Reference an external source like ISO.
  • Maintain a code list unique to the EAN·UCC system. 
  • Maintain a code list based on an external code list.
 Any code list GS1 maintains will need to be accessible to the community and maintained in such a way as to be detached from the schema versioning. The end result is the code lists will be managed outside of the schemas in such a way to remain easy to update and allow for the syntax checking of code values as is done with enumerated lists.

Unit of Measure
The Unit of Measure (UOM) code is used throughout the GS1 System.  In order to provide the best value to the GS1 community the UOM code list will be maintained by EGS1 for its community. It is anticipated additional code values will be required.  When the business requirements are defined additional code values can be added. The following is the starting point.

Part of PackagingType class.  It is String 1 to 3 characters.  The BRD states “List of authorized code values based on UN-ECE 21

Recommendations”, however the attribute with code list table suggest a merger of ANSI DE 103 and EANCOM DE 7065. It would be a very large list to combine DE103 and DE7065 because DE103 is a two-part list.

 

Recommend using ANSI DE 103 Part 1 – Packaging Form and making it a EAN—UCC maintained code list.  This seems to be more in-line with the intent of this attribute and packagingMaterialCode

The table below lists all of the attributes whose values are contained in code lists. The Item team created a subgroup to handle the code lists. The work of the subgroup was based on the following:
-        Identifying which data elements require a code list
-        When maintaining body or agency exists, refer to the body or agency
-        hen required, define unique list of valid values, using existing lists or documentation (E.g. EANCOM and X12)
The subgroup’s objective was to keep the lists as short as possible, removing inconsistent, repeated, unclear or too generic values and also removing information handled through other data elements (E.g., Hazardous related information is handled by specific Des).
 
The issue of governance and maintenance of these code lists is still being developed. Several of the code lists are maintained by outside agencies such as ISO. Other code lists are unique to this data model, and will need to be maintained by an EAN.UCC entity.
 
The table enclosed in the following page represents the work of the group at the time this document was released for Align BRG’s approval. A separate and more complete Addendum may need to be added at a later time.
