ISO 10685-1:2011(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10685-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 7,
Ophthalmic optics and instruments.
ISO 10685 consists of the following parts, under the general title Ophthalmic optics — Spectacle frames and
sunglasses electronic catalogue and identification:
 Part 1: Product identification and electronic catalogue product hierarchy
 Part 2: Commercial information
 Part 3: Technical information

hierarchy
1 Scope
This part of ISO 10685 establishes rules and requirements for the definition of a unique identifier for spectacle
frames and sunglass frames, and specifies the data information and file format used for identifying spectacle
frames and sunglass frames.
It is applicable to sunglass clip-ons.

5 Frame identifier structure
5.1 GTIN-14
For the use of this part of ISO 10685, GTIN data exchange requires the use of 14 digits. In databases, it is
recommended to manage a 14-digit field to comply with the identification of logistical units in the future.
The GTIN-14 standard is defined as the unique 14-digit identifier for items; it includes, in sequence, the
following.
5.1.1 Indicator digit
The indicator digit is a one-digit logistical code. For the purposes of this part of ISO 10685, it is always set to
zero (0). Future use of this indicator code may identify groupings of trade items according to GS1 standards.
5.1.2 Country code
The country code is the country code corresponding to the GS1 regional organization of which the
brand/license owner is a member.
5.1.3 Brand/license owner code — Company prefix
The brand/license owner code is a code allocated to the brand owner by the GS1 regional organization of
which the brand owner is a member.
5.1.4 Product code
Product codes are unique numbers. The value for product code is arbitrary and is at the discretion of the
brand/license owner.
5.2 Rules of application
5.2.1 General rules
5.2.1.1 Spectacle frames
A separate unique GTIN-14 is required whenever any of the basic characteristics of a frame are different in
any way.
The basic characteristics of a spectacle frame are given in Table 1.

2) GTIN is the trademark identifier for trade items (which encompass both products and services) and is supplied by the
GS1 System. This information is given for the convenience of users of this document and does not constitute an
endorsement by ISO of the product/service identifier named. Equivalent products may be used if they can be shown to
lead to the same results.

A brand/license owner may decide to assign a separate GTIN-14 number in case any other physical or

5.2.1.2 Sunglass frames
A separate unique GTIN-14 is required whenever any of the basic characteristics of sunglass frames are
different in any way.
The basic characteristics of a sunglass frame are given in Table 2.

A brand/license owner may decide to assign a separate GTIN-14 number in case any other physical or
logistical characteristic of a sunglass frame is different (namely, lens shape, frame material, etc.).
5.2.2 Responsibility
The brand/license owner, the organization which owns the specifications of the frame regardless of where and
by whom it is manufactured, is responsible for the allocation of the GTIN-14. On joining a GS1 member
organization, the member receives a GS1 company prefix, which is for the sole use of the company to which it
is assigned. The company prefix shall not be sold, leased or given, in whole or in part, for use by any other
company.
The brand/license owner may be:
 the manufacturer or supplier: the company manufactures the frame or has it manufactured, in any country,
and sells it under its own brand name;
ISO 10685-1:2011(E)
 the importer or wholesaler: the importer or wholesaler has the frame manufactured, in any country, and
sells it under its own brand name or the importer or wholesaler changes the trade item (for example by
modifying the packaging of the trade item);
 the retailer: the retailer has the frame manufactured, in any country, and sells it under its own brand.
5.2.3 Re-use of a GTIN-14
Under no circumstances shall a code which has been assigned to a product be re-used at a later stage.
5.2.4 Brand/license ownership changes
5.2.4.1 Acquisitions and mergers
If a company is being acquired, the company's existing stocks on hand, which are numbered before the
acquisition or merger, keep the same GTIN-14. Products that are produced after the acquisition or merger
may keep the GTIN-14 allocated before the acquisition if the acquiring company maintains the GS1
membership.
A merger implies that someone has taken over a company and has assumed responsibility for the company's
GS1 company prefix, as well as its assets and locations. Products that the acquired company produced under
its GS1 company prefix may continue to be produced using the same prefix following the merger, since the
acquiring company has full control.
If it so desired, the acquiring company may label all acquired products using their existing GS1 company
prefix. The importance of ensuring trading partners are informed of any changes, in a timely manner, cannot
be overemphasized. A company should be careful when centralizing the allocation of all numbers under one
GS1 company prefix as it results in additional work and data file maintenance for customers.
5.2.4.2 Partial purchase
If a company purchases a division of a company whose GS1 company prefix is used in divisions not
purchased, the acquiring company shall change the GTIN-14 in the purchased division within one year. The
rules concerning the use of the seller’s GTIN-14s and other GS1 identification keys should be taken into
consideration when drawing up the purchase contract.
At the earliest opportunity, the buyer should phase in new numbers, from its own range of numbers, for items
whose brand name it has acquired. The buyer is able to do this, for example, when packaging is redesigned
or reprinted.
During a company sale, and for four years following, the selling company shall not reallocate the original
numbers to other items.
5.2.4.3 Split or spin-off
When a company splits into two or more separate companies each GS1 company prefix assigned to the
original company shall be transferred to only one of the new companies. Any company left without a GS1
company prefix needs to apply to a GS1 member organization. The decision about which of the new
companies should take the original GS1 company prefixes should be made in such a way as to minimize the
number of additional GTIN-14s required. The decision should be part of the legal arrangements of the new
companies.
It is not necessary for existing stocks of items to be renumbered. However, when any of the split or spin-off
companies has trade items which are numbered with a GS1 company prefix that it no longer holds, the
company should renumber those items using its own GS1 company prefix when new labelling or packaging is
produced. Customers should be notified well in advance of the changes.
4 © ISO 2011 – All rights reserved

ISO 10685-1:2011(E)
Split or spin-off companies that retain a GS1 company prefix shall keep a record of the GTIN-14s created
which have been allocated to items they no longer own. They shall not re-use these GTIN-14s. Therefore, the
company that did not retain the GS1 company prefix shall keep the company which now maintains it informed
of the dates on which goods were last supplied using that GS1 company prefix or shall guarantee a date by
which it is intended to make the change of number.
