Overview
SCC-14 (Shipping Container Code)
is a 14-digit number assigned to fixed content shipping containers. The most
widely used representation of SCC-14 is based on UCC/EAN-128 Barcode Symbology
with the Application Identifier (AI) 01. However, other common implementation
of SCC is called ITF-14.
The SCC-14 value to encode has the following structure:
-
2 digits for UCC/EAN-128 Application Identifier (AI) which is always 01
-
1 digit for Packaging indicator
-
2 digits for UPC numbering system or EAN prefix
-
5 digits for Manufacturer identification number
-
5 digits for Item identification number
-
1 digit for Checksum which is automatically calculated by Barcode Professional
The value to encode passed to Barcode Professional must be 15
digits with the following structure: 01 + 13 digits. The checksum is
automatically calculated by Barcode Professional products.
