2. Introduction This document describes the requirements for bar code labels on unit loads and transport containers to convey data from Victor Reinz Suppliers to Victor Reinz automated Receiving Systems. Both label and tag marking methods are covered in this Implementation Guide under the general term of label. This Implementation Guide outlines the requirements for printing labels for unit loads and transport containers to insure scanning of bar code symbols and provide consistency of label formats. This guideline uses a common shipping/transportation label template for the Automotive Industry (B-10) based on the ANSI MH10.8M - 1993 cross-industry standard. The physical parameters of the symbols and labels are provided and a bar code symbol quality level is specified. The orientation and placement of B-10 Supplier Labels on unit loads and transport containers is also specified. This guideline does not supercede or replace any applicable safety or regulatory marking or labeling requirements. This Implementation Guide is to be applied in addition to any other mandated labeling requirements. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE VICTOR REINZ SUPPLIER TO PROVIDE BAR CODED LABELS THAT MEET THESE SPECIFICATIONS.

All exhibits are for illustrative purposes only and may not be to scale or meet bar code print quality standards. Precision and rounding will be in accordance with Appendix B, except where noted. Label dimensions should be in accordance with the dimensions stated.

3. Definitions Alphanumeric - (Code 39) character set that contains alphabetic characters (A-Z), numeric digits (0-9), and some punctuation marks (hyphen (-), period (.), space, dollar sign ($), forward slash (/), plus sign (+), and percent sign (%). ANSI - American National Standards Institute. Bar Code Symbol - an array of rectangular bars and spaces which are arranged in a predetermined pattern following specific rules to represent elements of data that are referred to as characters. A linear bar code symbol typically contains a leading quiet zone, start character, data character(s), stop character, and a trailing quiet zone. Carrier - in a transaction, the party that provides freight transportation services. Character - in a bar code symbol, the smallest group of elements which represents one or more numbers, letters, punctuation marks, or other information. Code 39 - for the purposes of this guideline, Code 39 (also known as Code 3 of 9) shall mean the symbology as specified by AIM Uniform Symbology Specification Code 39. Container - receptacle or a flexible covering for shipment of goods such as a box, bag, package or pallet (also see transport container and unit load). Container ID - alphanumeric field used by the shipping company to identify the shipment. Customer - in a transaction, the party that receives, buys, or consumes an item or service. Customer Part Number - the part number as defined by the customer. Data Identifier - a specified character string which defines the specific data that immediately follows as defined by ANS MH10.8.2, Data Identifier Guideline.

4. Label Definition

4.1. Label Dimensions Victor Reinz suggests using a common 4" X 6" label stock size which is an 'off the shelf' product from any label supplier. When identical labels are to be located on two adjacent sides of a container, wrap-around label stock is acceptable.

4.1.1.Label Height The full label height is 4 inches (102 mm) which is determined by the number of building blocks included on the label. Victor Reinz uses 4 rows of building blocks, each row being 1 inch (25.5 mm) in height.

4.1.2.Label Width The recommended width of the label is 6 inches (152 mm) to 6.5 inches (165 mm).

4.1.3.Label Material Pressure sensitive label stock of either paper or plastic. Or, printed on a paper sheet and secured with 2" pressure sensitive poly tape.

4.2. Building Blocks 4.2.1.Text Building Block A text building block or sub-block may contain text or graphics or both. A text building block shall not contain a bar code symbol.

4.2.1.1. Text Lines-Per-Block The height of text characters is defined by using a unit of measure called LinesPer-Block (LBP) rather than inches, millimeters or points. This enables the labeler to determine the actual height and font of text for a given LPB. Eight sizes may be specified for text, ranging from one to eight Lines-Per-Block. The exact character heights corresponding to the eight sizes shall be chosen by the labeler based on the capabilities of the printing equipment.

4.2.1.2. Text Dimensions Labelers shall choose a single height for each of the eight sizes so that clear distinctions shall be evident between text sizes (i.e., 8 LPB text shall be smaller than 7 LPB text, etc.). Table 1 shows suggested point, inch, and metric sizes. The characters shall be clearly legible. For maximum legibility, the ratio of the height to the width of a character should not exceed 2:1. A sans serf font such as Arial or Helvetica is recommended.

NOTE: Based on label width of 6.5 inches and block height of 1 inch. Specific font size will depend on the capability of the labeler's printer and software.

4.2.1.3. Data Limits Table 1 above shows the suggested maximum number of text characters per line in a full width block that will be required of a labeler.

4.2.1.4. Title Lines A title will be used in a text building block. When a title is used, it shall be printed in the upper left corner of the text building block or sub-block. The title shall be printed in upper case characters at a height of 6, 7, or 8 LPB, two lines maximum, left justified.

4.2.2.Bar Code Building Block A building block will not contain more than one bar code symbol. A subblock of a building block will not contain more than one bar code symbol. There will not be more than two bar code sub-blocks in any single building block.

4.2.2.1. Data Limits The number of bar code data characters (including Data Identifiers) per block for a bar code symbol will not exceed 19 (not including start/stop characters). When a second bar code sub-block is used, the total number of characters (including Data Identifiers), in the two bar codes combined will not exceed 20 characters.

4.2.2.2. Title Lines A title will be used in a bar code building block. When a title is used, it shall be printed in the upper left corner of the bar code building block or sub-block. The title shall be printed in upper case characters at a height of 6, 7, or 8 LPB, two lines maximum, left justified.

All Code 39 bar code symbols will contain a Data Identifier. The Identifier conforms to the ANSI MH10.8.2 Data Identifier Standard. Identifier's are not considered part of the data they precede. The Identifier shall be shown in parenthesis in the title line only and follow the title.

Data Data Data shall

When a second bar code sub-block is used, the title of the second, or right, sub-block will be printed in the lower left corner of the sub-block.

4.2.2.3. Symbol Placement The bar code symbol will be printed in the lower portion of the bar code building block or sub-block. The bar code symbol will be left justified, allowing for the 0.25 inch ( 7 mm) quiet zone. When a second bar code sub-block is used, the bar code symbol will be printed in the upper portion of the sub-block.

4.2.2.4. Symbol Height The minimum height of the bar code symbol shall be 0.5 inch (13 mm).

4.2.2.5. Symbology Code 39 bar code symbology will be as defined by the AIM Uniform Symbology Specification Code 39 (US Code 39). Victor Reinz bar code reading equipment will not be enabled to read the full ASCII option. A leading space character will not be used. The Code 39 symbology check character (modulo 43) will not be used. The four characters %, /, $ and + of the Code 39 standard character set will not be used by Victor Reinz. The ratio of the wide elements to the narrow elements should be 3:1. The measured ration shall be between 2.8:1 to 3.2:1. The inter-character gap should be equal to the narrow element width.

4.2.2.6. Narrow Element X Dimension The narrow element X dimension range will be from 0.010 inch (0.254 mm) to 0.017 inch (0.43) mm as determined by the printing capability of the labeler.

4.2.2.7. Quiet Zones The bar code symbol shall have leading and trailing quiet zones with minimum widths of 0.25 inches (6.3 mm) each.

SUPPLIER PACKAGE LABELING

4.2.2.8. Human-Readable Interpretation for Code 39 The data encoded in the bar code symbol shall be represented in humanreadable characters above the bar code symbol and shall not include the start/stop characters or the Data Identifier. The human-readable interpretation shall be in upper case characters and be printed left justified, approximately 1.0 to 1.5 inches (25 to 38 mm) from the left edge of the building block or sub-block to leave room for the title. The human-readable interpretation of the data encoded in the bar code symbol shall be printed at either 2 or 3 LPB to insure that the minimum height of the bar code symbology is met. ANSI MH10.8.2 Data Identifiers and symbology start/stop characters are not considered part of data and shall not be printed in the human-readable interpretation. The Data Identifier shall be shown in parenthesis in the title line only and shall follow the title. When a second bar code sub-block is used, the human-readable interpretation of the data encoded in the bar code symbology shall be printed below the bar code symbol.

5. Label Placement & Orientation The following considerations should be addressed when determining the most appropriate location for the label: • • • • •

survivability of the label, label application (manual/automatic, label/tag/direct marking), container type, packaging level (if multiple labels are visible) and accessibility of location.

Each Victor Reinz supplier shall be responsible to assure that bar coded labels are sufficiently secured and protected, wrinkle-free and readable at point of final Victor Reinz receiving. When identical labels are to be located on two adjacent sides of a container, wrap-around label stock is acceptable.

5.1. Placement Labels should be placed no closer than 1.25 inches (32 mm) from any container edge (See Figure 1). Label placement toward the center of the sides of rectangular, corrugated containers should be avoided because excessive abrasion damage may result during transportation and render the label not usable. For placement on various types of containers, labels or tags should be applied in an easily accessible location (See Appendix A). For Master and Mixed unit loads, the placement of the Master or Mixed label shall be on the upper half of the unit load. The bottom edge of the label shall not be higher than 60 inches (152 cm) from the bottom of the unit load. Unit loads shall have identical labels on two adjacent sides. For transport containers or unit loads that cannot physically accommodate the placement of the label on the side, the label should be placed on the top. Information required by carriers has been placed in the topmost area of each label. Parcel carriers may require the placement of carrier information on the top of the transport container. The label should not be placed over a seam. Sealing tape or bands shall not be placed over the label in a manner that interferes with the scanning of the label.

Page 20 of 27

SUPPLIER PACKAGE LABELING

5.2. Orientation Labels should be placed on the side of the container with the bars perpendicular (+/5 degrees) to the natural bottom of the container (See Figure 1). When the label is placed on the top of a container, the bars should be perpendicular to the edge of the container and should not be placed over a seam.

Figure 1 - Label Orientation

SUPPLIER PACKAGE LABELING

6. Quality It is important that the bar code be decodable throughout the life if its use. The ANSI X3.182 Bar Code Print Quality Guideline shall be used to determine bar code symbol print quality. The minimum symbol grade shall be 1.5/10/660 where: • minimum print quality grade = 1.5 ( C ) • measurement aperture = 0.010 inch (0.254 mm) • inspection wavelength = 660 nanometers +/- nanometers. The above symbol quality and measurement parameters assure scannability over a broad range of scanning environments. In addition, it is recommended that quality measurements be taken under consistent conditions; for example, background lighting and on the same surface the label will be attached to. Labels should always be verified after changing ribbons, toner or ink and anytime label stock is changed.

7. Label Durability Numerous environmental effects can lead to the degrading of the bar code symbol, substrate, adhesive or laminate. These changes may affect one or more quality parameters of the label whether they be optical or physical. The net effect of such changes can be to render the label unusable. It is therefore important to consider these effects when producing and applying bar code labels. Some of the factors that should be considered include temperature, humidity, light exposure, abrasion, chemical contamination and aging.

8. Compliance Compliance with Victor Reinz Supplier Package Labeling Standards is required of all production material suppliers. Suppliers shipping packaged product not in compliance with the information set forth in this document and not having prior written approval from Victor Reinz WILL BE SUBJECT TO CHARGE BACK or SHIPMENT MAY BE RETURNED FREIGHT COLLECT.

Appendix B - Precision and Rounding in Measurement Precision is the degree of exactness with which a quantity is stated. That is, it is the number of significant digits (decimal places). While materials will generally be ordered in whole numbers (no decimal places), Victor Reinz will not assume implied decimals in numbers and use up to two digits of precision for expressing fractions of whole numbers. Materials ordered in whole numbers should have their Quantities expressed as whole numbers (no decimal places) on the labels. If expressing whole numbers without decimal precision is not possible, then the digits to the right of the decimal will be 00 (zero-zero) to indicate no fractional quantity. Rounding is the process used to reduce the precision with which a number is stated (decrease the number of decimal places). This is done in order to compare two numbers at the same level of precision. Any measurement made with greater precision than 2 decimal places shall be rounded up. For example, if a Victor Reinz specification for the size of an item is stated with two decimal places, any measurement of that item should be rounded to 2 decimal places. The generally accepted rule for rounding is add 5 to the digit to the immediate RIGHT of the level of precision required, then drop (truncate) the extra digits - those required beyond the required level of precision. As an example of a fractional quantity; if Victor Reinz orders a dimension 16.67 linear yards long, the required precision is two decimal places. If the vendor's measurement device shows it to be 16.666 linear yards, that measurement will be out of spec since 2 digits of precision is the most Victor Reinz will accommodate. To round the number up to 2 digit precision, the following math would be used: 1. Add .005 (3 digits) to the measurement (16.666 + .005 = 16.671) 2. Drop the digits past (to the right of) the 2 digits required (16.671 yields 16.67) 3. Place a quantity of 16.67 on the label in bar coded symbology and human-readable text. As an example of a whole quantity; if Victor Reinz orders a dimension of 1,000 pieces, no decimal precision is required. Quantities of either 1000 or 1000.00 on the label as bar coded symbology and human-readable text are acceptable with 1000 (no decimal precision) being the preferred format.
