Rules for registering an ISO 8000-115 SmartPrefix^TM

A SmartPrefix^TM is globally unique therefore a previously used Prefix cannot be registered (a SmartPrefix may include a Brand Sub-prefix separated from the SmartPrefix by the character ‘.’)
A SmartPrefix^TM may not include spaces
A SmartPrefix^TM may include these special characters: ! @ % * $ ^ _
A SmartPrefix^TM may not include these special characters: # : ? & ” ‘ ( ) [ ] { } \ / |
A SmartPrefix^TM is not case sensitive

Note: A free International Business Identifier (IBID) is required to register a SmartPrefix^TM. This can be completed as a part of registration process.

Step 2: Complete the SmartPrefix™ registration

Step 3: Advanced registration for ISO 25500 automated part number verification

Advanced registration enables Buyers to automate part number verification and links your part numbers to item characteristic data or technical specifications to support automated Buyer product inquiries.

Addresses added to your prefix record during Advanced Registration allow you to use the ISO 25500 APIs to automate the routing of Buyer inquiries. This allows Buyers to automate verification of item availability or obtain the item characteristic data they need to create their item master records. You can implement ISO 25500 on your own server or you can simply host your product or service catalog on the ECCMA Standardized Open Catalog (eSOC).

To enable this advanced feature there is a fee of $500 per year, which covers all the part numbers associated with your prefix as well as automated routing and hosting on the ECCMA Standardized Open Catalog (eSOC). The fee is payable when you complete this registration.

Please provide a technical point of contact for your Advanced registration. The addresses you add to your prefix record will only be used by ECCMA to forward inquiries to you. They are not disclosed to your customers or to third parties.
