The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 10374 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 104, Freight containers, Sub-Committee SC 4, Identification and communication. Annex A and Annex B form an integral part of this International Standard.

It is intended that the Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) system will facilitate documentation, resource control, and communications (including electronic data processing systems). The visual container identification markings specified by ISO 6346 are not affected. Future additions to this International Standard will specify modulation, encoding and an open protocol. Annex B describes the technical specification of a system that complies with the requirements of this International Standard. Parts of Annex B are covered by patents held by Amtech Corporation 17304 Preston Road E 100 Dallas, Texas 75252 USA The patent-holder has stated that licences will be granted under reasonable terms and conditions. 1 Scope This International Standard establishes a) a container identification system which allows the transfer of information from a freight container to an automatic processing system by electronic means, b) a data coding system for container identification and permanent related information which resides within an electronic device called a tag installed on a freight container, c) a data coding system for the electronic transfer of both container identification and permanent related information from an electronic device installed on a freight container to automatic data processing systems, d) the description of the data to be included in the tag for transmission to the sensing equipment, e) performance criteria necessary to ensure consistent and reliable operation of the automatic equipment identification (AEI) system within the international transportation community, f) requirements for the physical location of the electronic device on freight containers, and g) security features to inhibit malicious or unintentional alteration of the information content of the electronic device when installed on a freight container. It specifies all necessary user requirements in order to permit international use of the tag without modification or adjustment. This International Standard applies to freight containers as defined in ISO 668 (see 3.1). The use of AEI systems and the equipping of containers for automatic identification is not mandatory. The purpose of this International Standard is to optimize the efficiency of equipment control systems. For this reason, any AEI system used for identifying containers shall conform to and be compatible with this International Standard. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.
