This standard defines the Global Individual Asset Identifier (GIAI), which is one of the 2 GS1 keys for asset identification. Companies can apply a GIAI on any asset to uniquely identify and manage that asset. This could be a computer, desk, vehicle, piece of transport equipment or spare part. Barcodes and EPC/RFID tags can be used to apply the GIAI on assets. Applied electronically, the GIAI enables a company to record individual assets in asset management and accounting systems across company boundaries. This document complies with the AU/ISO/IEC-1459-4, further information is available in the GS1 General Specifications Standard.
