ISO 6523

International standard that registers identifier schemes for organisations — the foundation of the EAS code list.

Definition

International standard that registers identifier schemes for organisations — the foundation of the EAS code list.

Explanation

Each scheme is referenced by a numeric ICD (International Code Designator); GS1 GLN is ICD 0088, GS1 SSCC is 0008, German VAT-ID is 9930.

Maintained by the ICD Registration Authority; new schemes are added by national bodies and indirectly drive Peppol participant identifiers.
