MISSION One of the significant missions of Henkel is to implement comprehensive bar coding and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) programs with our suppliers. Todays competitive environment requires that business relationships between supplier, manufacturer, distributor, and customer become more efficient by eliminating non value added costs, quality problems, and delivery problems. Establishing a bar code label program and ultimately an EDI program will improve the performance and efficiencies for Henkel and business partners. POLICY It is our policy to follow as closely as possible the standards established by the Uniform Code Council for bar coding and EDI systems. The references for these standards are below. *Application Standard for Shipping Container Codes. * Interleaved 2 of 5 and UCC/EAN-128 Bar Code Symbology. * ANSI and UN/EDIFACT EDI Standards. Our Bar Code Requirements Are Part Of Our Vendor Quality Program GETTING STARTED Determine if your company has been assigned a Manufacturer ID number by the Uniform Code Council. If you have been assigned a number you will use it to identify your company in the SSCC-18 bar code on the shipping Label. If you do not have an assigned number you may use the vendor number assigned to your company by Henkel. If you do not know your Henkel vendor number contact your Henkel purchasing agent. You will need to order reference material and become familiar with these specifications.

It is affixed to pallets or individual items depending upon the shipping configuration. The height of the bar code fields should be inch. The size of the human readable numbers and the bar code width should be approximately that of the samples in the manual. RAW MATERIAL CASE LABEL The Case Label is 3 inches in width by 4 inches in height. The label stock must be white. Case Label data should reflect single carton or container data. Bar code label print quality must meet ANSI Bar Code Print Quality Guidelines. Henkel requires a 4 out of 5 first scan rate. All label data is expected to be correct. FINISHED GOOD CASE LABEL The Case Label is 4 inches wide by 3 inches in height. It is affixed to each carton containing finished goods on a pallet. If you are shipping Consumer Commodities the proper ORM-D marking must be on the label. The height of the I 2 of 5 bar code field should be 1 inch and the lot number field 3/8 to inch. The size of the human readable numbers and the bar code width should be approximately the same as the sample in the manual. LOT NUMBERS Henkel requires that finished goods be assigned a Lot Number. This number appears on the Shipping and Case Labels. The supplier will obtain the Lot Number as described later in this manual. A Lot Number must be present on all labels.
SHIPPING LABEL SPECIFICATIONS The Material Number is comprised of the AI 240 and the part number as it appears on the Henkel purchase order. The human readable characters may appear above or below the bar code. The part number is up to 15 positions; symbology is Code 128, and no spaces are allowed in the bar coded data. When scanned the data would appear as 240212184
The MATERIAL DESCRIPTION is the same as shown on the Henkel purchase order. The description is up to 30 characters in length.
The Warehouse human readable is going to be either CL (Cleveland) or LV (Louisville) The QUANTITY bar code is comprised of the AI 91. Indicating quantity with a decimal point three positions from the right. For example a Quantity (91)200.000 barcode would read 91200.000 the decimal point is in the bar code as well as in the human readable. This will be used as quantities for all materials whether they are Eaches, Kilos, Cons, or any other measurement used. The Quantity is up to 10 characters including the decimal point and does not contain spaces, parenthesis in the bar coded data and the symbology is Code 128. The bar code below would scan 91200.000
The UNITS designator does not require a bar code only a human readable in the form of- EA for Eaches, KG for Kilograms, or CON for Container, see the example below
DATE OF MANUFACTURE is comprised of AI 11 and the appropriate date. The Date of Manufacture is required data and must be in YYMMDD format. The 6
date of manufacture field is in Code 128 symbology and when scanned would appear as 11060220
The LOT NUMBER is comprised of the AI 10 and the lot number assigned to you by Henkel. The lot number is up to 10 positions, the symbology is Code 128, no spaces are allowed in the bar coded data and when scanned would appear as 10TEST1.
The P.O. NO. is comprised of the AI 400 and the purchase order number that is on the Henkel P.O. The human readable characters are above the bar code, however if your software does not accommodate this placement, then below the bar code is acceptable. The P.O. number is 6 positions; symbology is Code 128, and no spaces are allowed in the bar coded data. When scanned the data would appear as 4000123456789
SSCC-18 is comprised of the AI 00 and 4 data elements. Below is an explanation of the data elements. *The AI is 00 1) The Next position is the packaging indicator. 0 is for cases, 1 for a pallet, and 2 if larger than a pallet. Typically it is set to a 1. 2) The next 7 positions are the Manufacturer ID. This may contain your UCC assigned Manufacturer ID or, if you do not have this number, you may use your Henkel vendor number. Both numbers are zero filled to the left. 3) The next 9 positions are the serialization number. This should be a unique number for each pair of shipping labels. Initially this number is set to all 0s. For each 2 labels printed a 1 is added to this number. (2 labels are required on each pallet) 4) The last position is the check digit and is calculated using MOD 10. Note: do not include the AI in the calculation. This number is inserted by the label software.
The SSCC-18 is 18 positions in length excluding the AI, no spaces are allowed in the bar coded data, and the symbology is UCC/EAN 128. When scanned the example would appear as 00123456789123456789

The CONSUMER COMMODITY marking is extremely important for regulatory purposes. If the product you are shipping is classified as an ORM-D the marking as shown on the previous example must be printed on the label. If you have any questions on this do not hesitate to call the hotline. If the product you are shipping IS NOT A CONSUMER COMODITY DO NOT print the marking on the label. The example below illustrates this NONREGULATED LABEL.
MASTER PACK CASE LABEL The master carton should use the packaging indicator of 4 in the I 2 of 5 data. The packing indicator is the first digit of the I 2 of 5 data. The manufacturers number and the part number will stay the same. The change in packaging indicator will cause the check digit to change on the master label. The quantity on the master label must reflect the total quantity of pieces in the master pack. The inner case labels will continue to use the 3 as the packaging indicator as in the past. All other I 2 of 5 data will also be the same on these inner case labels. The quantity on the inner case labels should reflect the number of pieces in that carton only.
12
*Sample shown is an ORM-D Consumer Commodity. If the product isnt a Consumer Commodity DO NOT USE THE CONSUMER COMMODITY INSIGNIA. The sample represents a master pack that contains eight inner cases of ten pieces each. The master pack label has a 4 as the first digit, which caused the check digit to change, and the quantity reflects total pieces in the master pack. The inner case label is the same as usual. TIPS FOR GETTING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME Below are some of the things to remember when developing your labels that will improve the success rate for verification and approval. * Use the size and color specified for the label. * Use the specified symbology for the bar codes. * Do not imbed spaces or parenthesis in the bar codes. * Create the bar codes as close as possible to the examples. We did not specify exact sizes and bar code widths because of the vast number of bar code software packages. * If you have questions call the Bar Code Hotline (216) 663-3051 before spending a lot of time and not getting it right. *Remember to use your data in the bar codes not the data in the examples. NOTE: We highly recommend that you purchase at least the Print Only Version of Bartender. The following website contains all the labels that are required by us. With Bartender software once you download the label you will be prompted to enter the required information. Upon entering the information Bartender will place the information in the correct locations on the labels. This is recommended for its ease of use and ensures a near 100% accuracy thus eliminating any discrepancies. http://www.loctite.com/int_henkel/loctite_us/index.cfm?&pageid=32&layout=1 To purchase Bartender or the Print Only Version you can contact the following: Lowry Computer Products Mr. Bob Seitz 32915 Aurora Road, Suite 260 Solon, Ohio 44139 Phone: 440-542-0855 Raco Industries 5480 Creek Rd.

BAR CODE VERIFICATION AND APPROVAL Once you have produced bar coded Shipping and Case Labels they must be sent to Henkel to be verified for label size, bar code data content, correct symbology, scan grade, human readable correctness, and ORM-D requirements. Do not Fax sample labels, as the quality is too poor you may however Fax labels for format inspection only. We require original labels. Submit both ORM-D label and NON ORM-D label if applicable. When you submit your labels for verification include the Finished Goods Vendor Bar Code Label Submission Form. The results of the verification will be communicated to you by Fax or phone call. Until you receive approval for the labels DO NOT LABEL SHIPMENTS TO HENKEL. Once you have obtained approval for your labels the Receiving Departments will be notified and Henkel will expect your next shipment to be properly labeled. Send labels to be verified to: Bar Code Coordinator Henkel Corporation 18731 Cranwood Parkway Cleveland, Ohio 44128 Henkel has established a Bar Code Hotline where you can leave questions or messages and request a return call. The Bar Code Hotline is 216-663-3051. Your call will be returned as soon as possible. Once you begin bar coding shipments the Receiving Department personnel will audit the labels. If any problems are found a Label Discrepancy Report is filled out and will be sent to the Bar Code Coordinator. The report will be verified and you will be contacted and advised of the problem and the corrective action. 14
OBTAINING A LOT NUMBER All finished goods shipments MUST have a bar coded LOT NUMBER assigned by Henkel. This Lot Number must appear on the Shipping Label and Case Labels.
