CEA CEA-802 2000-SEP-01 Product Markng Standard
This standard defines minimum requirements for identifying products. This standard provides guidelines for product marking with machine-readable symbols. This standard covers both labels and direct marking of products. This standard includes testing procedures for label adhesive characteristics and mark durability.
Intended applications include, but are not limited to, support of systems that automate the control of products during the processes of production, inventory, distribution, field service, and repair.
The location of the marking is not defined in this standard. Before implementing this standard, suppliers and manufacturers should review and mutually agree on these details with their trading partners.
This document includes three sections to meet the needs of various market sectors that have different operational requirements.
Section 5 provides a common set of definitions and parameters for product marking in general.
Section 6 provides a set of requirements, which in addition to those within Section 5, are intended to respond to the needs of the industrial to industrial trading channel, namely, where a finished good is provided by one manufacturer to another manufacturer for the production of the second manufacturer's product. An example of this trading channel is a non-commercially available electronic control module manufacturer who provides a product to an appliance manufacturer.
Section 7 provides a set of requirements, which in addition to those within Section 5, are intended to respond to the needs of the consumer electronics trading channel, namely, where a finished good is provided by a manufacturer, through a distributor, reseller, other retail oriented means, or directly to the end user/consumer of the electronic product. Examples of this trading channel includes audio and video electronics, microcomputers, computer peripherals, and home appliances sold to the consumer/end-user.
Section 8 provides a set of requirements, which in addition to those within Section 5, are intended to respond to the needs of the telecommunications trading channel, namely, where a finished good is provided by a manufacturer, through a distributor, reseller, or directly to the end user/consumer of the electronic product. An example of this trading channel includes telecommunications industry plug-in boards.
NOTE--For component marking applications see ANSI/EIA-706 – Component marking standard.
NOTE--For applications that require the marking of reels, tubes, tray, bags and boxes of first level packages containing components see ANSI/EIA 624 – Product Package Label standard for nonretail applications.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to establish the machine-readable (linear, two dimensional, and composite symbols) and human readable content for direct marking and labeling of products. A product is a first level or higher assembly that is sold in a complete end-usable configuration.
This standard provides a means for products to be marked, and read in either fixtured or handheld scanning environments at any manufacturer's facility and then read by customers purchasing products for subsequent manufacturing operations or for final end use.
