This part of ISO/IEC 15459 specifies the procedural requirements to maintain a non-significant, unique identifier for item management applications, and outlines the obligations of the Registration Authority and Issuing Agencies.
This part of ISO/IEC 15459 excludes those items where ISO has designated Maintenance Agencies or Registration Authorities to provide identification schemes. It does not apply to
— freight containers, because their unique coding is specified in ISO 6346, Freight containers — Coding, identification and marking;
— vehicles, because their unique identification is specified in ISO 3779, Road vehicles — Vehicle identification number (VIN) — Content and structure;
— car radios, because their unique identification is specified in ISO 10486, Passenger cars— Car radio identification number (CRIN).
The exclusion also applies to ISO 2108, Information and documentation— International standard book number (ISBN) and ISO 3297, Information and documentation — International standard serial number (ISSN).
NOTE The scope of each of ISO 2108 and ISO 3297 identifies the title rather than the individual copy of a book or
periodical. As such, the level of identification achieved is at a level higher than the unique identity required to be compliant with this part of ISO/IEC 15459.
