RFID - Radio Frequency Identification
EPC - Electronic Product Code
DOD - United States Department of Defense
SSCC - Serial Shipping Container code
SSCC is allocated by a company to its physical units like pallets, containers or cartons, assembled for transport and storage of goods of any kind, which need to be tracked and traced individually in a supply chain.
Basically SSCC is an 18-digit code allocated by a company to keep track of logistic units. Logistic units may consist of single items, cartons, pallets, or containers, and each package type may contain a standard set of contents or some unique combination made up for a particular customer’s requirements. They may be sent by any means, road, rail, or air, and may be carried by a variety of agents.
SSCC code= Packaging indicator + Manufacturers code + Serial no. + check digit.

SGTIN - Serialized Global Trade Identification
GID - Global IDentification
GLN - Global Location Numbers
GTIN - Global Trade Item Number
The GRAI is the GS1 Identification Key for types of reusable package or transport equipment that are considered an asset. It is used to enable tracking as well as recording of all relevant data associated with the individual asset or asset reference. The GRAI is is assigned for the life time of the asset and may be bar coded using Application Identifier (8003).
GSMP – Global Standard Management Process
The Global Standards Management Process, or GSMP, is the pre-eminent worldwide collaborative forum where GS1 standards are built and maintained..
Since it was created in 2002, the GSMP has been the engine that powers the entire GS1 System of standards. It is an open and transparent process made possible by the participation of companies who wish to improve the efficiency of supply chains.
The GSMP brings together users from all industries and from everywhere in the world to identify needs for standards, gather business requirements, document best practices, obtain consensus on solutions, and then develop and implement the resulting supply chain standards.

UPC - Universal Product Code
The Electronic Product Code (EPC) is a family of coding schemes created as an eventual successor to the barcode. The EPC was created as a low-cost method of tracking goods using RFID technology. It is designed to meet the needs of various industries, while guaranteeing uniqueness for all EPC-compliant tags. EPC tags were designed to identify each item manufactured, as opposed to just the manufacturer and class of products, as bar codes do today. The EPC accommodates existing coding schemes and defines new schemes where necessary.
The EPC was the creation of the MIT Auto-ID Center, a consortium of over 120 global corporations and university labs. The EPC system is currently managed by EPCglobal, Inc., a subsidiary of GS1, creators of the UPC barcode.
