(Main)Product package labels for electronic components using bar code and two-dimensional symbologies
Product package labels for electronic components using bar code and two-dimensional symbologies
IEC 62090:2017 applies to labels on the packaging of electronic components for automatic handling in B2B processes. These labels use linear bar code and two-dimensional (2D) symbols. Labels for direct product marking and shipping labels are excluded. Labels required on the packaging of electronic components that are intended for the retail channel of distribution in B2C processes are also excluded from this document.
Bar code and 2D symbol markings are used, in general, for automatic identification and automatic handling of components in electronics assembly lines. Intended applications include systems that automate the control of component packages during production, inventory and distribution.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Applicable data elements have been added. Data identifiers of those data elements are “10D”, “14D”, ”2P”, “25L”, “18V”, “V”, “J”, “3S”, “13E”, “33L” and “34L”.
b) The following new informative annexes have been added:
- Annex C, URL;
- Annex D, Examples of data element short titles;
- Annex E, Package levels for component package labels.
Étiquettes d'emballage de produits pour composants électroniques, utilisant un code à barres et une symbologie bidimensionelle
L'IEC 62090:2017 s’applique aux étiquettes apposées sur l’emballage des composants électroniques pour opérations automatisées dans les processus B2B. Ces étiquettes utilisent un code à barres linéaire et des symboles bidimensionnels (2D). Les étiquettes pour le marquage de produit direct et les étiquettes de transport sont exclues. Les étiquettes exigées sur l’emballage des composants électroniques qui sont destinés au circuit de distribution de détail dans les processus B2C sont aussi exclues du présent document.
En général, le code à barres et les marquages de symboles 2D sont utilisés pour l’identification et la manipulation automatiques de composants dans les chaînes de montage en électronique. Les applications prévues comprennent des systèmes qui automatisent le contrôle des emballages de composants pendant la production, l’inventaire et la distribution.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente:
a) Ajout d’éléments de données applicables: Les identificateurs de données des éléments de données sont “ 10D ”, “ 14D ”, “ 2P ”, “ 25L ”, “ 18V ”, “ V ”, “ J ”, “ 3S ”, “ 13E ”, “ 33L ” et “ 34L ”.
b) Ajout des nouvelles annexes informatives suivantes:
- Annexe C, URL;
- Annexe D, Exemples de titres abrégés pour des éléments de données;
- Annexe E, Niveaux d’emballage pour les étiquettes d’emballage de composants.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical
