Types of Standards Technology Data Content Conformance Network Symbology, RFID, I.C. Card, Sensors, RTLS, GPS Data Content Semantics (DIs or AIs), Syntax Conformance Print Quality, Test Specifications, Conformance to Air Interface Network Object-to-object communications Application Standards Freight container, RTI, Ship Label, Product Package, Product Mark/Tag, eSeal Most industrial and commercial manufacturers have catalog or part numbers already assigned to their products. They often question the need for an additional number, thinking that their distributors and/or end customers should use their supplier assigned catalog or part numbers. Following are some of the reasons why UPC numbers are needed: UCC.QED.I.10
