Electronic Product Code

A unique electronic code identifying an object. It may, for example, be the information sent by an RFID tag in order to guarantee the object's traceability. The principle is to create for each object a code combining two identifications: by product reference, and individually by adding a serial number. The radio-frequency tag, standardised in this way, contains only the object's unique identifier, which is used to retrieve information from the databases associated with it.
