The Transport Unit IDentifier Working Group (TUIDWG) is a special working group dedicated to the pilot and scaling of the Transport Unit IDentifier (TUID) methodology in the United States.
What is the Transport Unit IDentifier (TUID)?
The Transport Unit IDentifier (TUID) is a unique identifier for a load where the goods movement process has reached a status when there is an authorized order for shipment.
ISO 8000-119
See catalogue page for ISO 8000-119
ISO 8000 Part 119 is Master data: Exchange of transport unit identifiers: application of ISO 8000-115 to the formatting of transport unit identifiers. This standard, currently at Committee Draft stage, specifies the requirements for a transport unit identifier (TUID). These requirements support the data to represent unambiguously the information that organizations use. Transport unit identifiers are important to organizations because these identifiers allow them to unambiguously identify a load and its shipment phases.
ISO 8000-119 is comprised of other existing Standards including ISO 8601 Time and Date Format, ISO 8000-115 Formatting of Quality Identifiers, ISO 8000-116 Formatting of Authoritative Legal Entity Identifiers (ALEI), and ISO CD 8000-118 Formatting of Natural Location Identifiers (NLI).
ISO 8000
ISO 8000 is the global standard for Data Quality and Enterprise Master Data. It describes the features and defines the requirements for standard exchange of Master Data among business partners. It establishes the concept of Portability as a requirement for Enterprise Master Data, and the concept that true Enterprise Master Data is unique to each organization.
