如ISO 16678所述，本文件给出了在独立运行的产品标识和相关认证系统之间建立互操作性的指南。从一个系统到另一个系统的永久数据传输不在本文件范围内。 它还提供了关于如何指定一个对现有或新的对象识别和身份验证方法开放的环境的指导，以及可能需要保持活动状态的遗留系统可以访问的环境。 它适用于任何需要对象识别和认证系统的行业、利益相关者或用户群体。 它可以在全球范围内使用，也可以在有限的环境中使用。本文档支持参与规划和建立互操作的人员。

This document gives guidelines for establishing interoperability among independently functioning product identification and related authentication systems, as described in ISO 16678. The permanent transfer of data from one system to another is out of the scope of this document. It also gives guidance on how to specify an environment open to existing or new methods of identification and authentication of objects, and which is accessible for legacy systems that may need to remain active. It is applicable to any industry, stakeholder or user group requiring object identification and authentication systems. It can be used on a global scale, or in limited environments. This document supports those involved in planning and establishing interoperation.
