Header Code: The first component (4 digits) of the EPC that tells the reader/interrogator how to parse the bits (decode the rest) of the EPC number.
Object Class: The third component of the EPC that describes a category of things in the supply chain (much like an Item Reference or a SKU does in the GS1 System).
Serial Number: The fourth component of the EPC that is critical to the reading and numeration of tags. How an individual company chooses to assign serial numbers (i.e. individual instances of the Object Class that precedes it) is up to them.
EPC Manager Number: The second component of the EPC that describes what company or organization has authority over a group of products or things in the supply chain (much like the Company Prefix does in the GS1 system). Only End-Users are assigned EPC Manager Numbers.
Once an EPC Manager Number has been assigned, EPCglobal North America will ensure that it is registered within the Object Naming Service (ONS). This will ensure that your product data is accessible to your trading partners via the EPCglobal Network.
