Class: GS1::Batch
Overview
Batch or lot number: AI (10)
The GS1 Application Identifier (10) indicates that the GS1 Application Identifier data field contains a batch or lot number. The batch or lot number associates an item with information the manufacturer considers relevant for traceability of the trade item to which the element string is applied. The data may refer to the trade item itself or to items contained. The number may be, for example, a production lot number, a shift number, a machine number, a time, or an internal production code. The data is alphanumeric and may include all characters contained in figure 7.11-1.
Note: The batch or lot number is not part of the unique identification of a trade item.

The data transmitted by the barcode reader means that the element string denoting a batch or lot number has been captured. As this element string is an attribute of a particular item, it must be processed together with the GTIN of the trade item to which it relates. When indicating this element string in the non-HRI text section of a barcode label, the following data title SHOULD be used (see also section 3.2): BATCH/LOT
