This field holds the charging numbers of a work.

The field has a variable structure: the individual data elements are identified by their position within the field and are separated by the delimiter |. Where an entry does not apply, a blank is used. It is not necessary to include delimiters after the last piece of information given.

1st data element

The accession number of a work, in one of two formats:

  • <four-digit year>/<four-digit sequential number>
  • <eight-digit sequential number>

2nd data element

For periodicals, the issue number (two digits, numeric).

3rd data element

An additional identification number supplementing the accession number (max. 10 alphanumeric characters).

4th data element

The barcode number of a work. Barcodes under the BAFO or SBC standard are recommended; they can be recognised by the delimiters $ and %.

5th data element

Copy number. This data element holds the number of the copy where several identical copies share the accession number in the first data element and the record is used for exchanging items in interlibrary loan or book blocks.

The field follows ISO 8601: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.T, where YYYY stands for the year, MM for the month, DD for the day, HH for hours, MM for minutes, SS for seconds and .T for tenths of a second. Missing details are padded with zeros. The time may be truncated at any point or left out altogether.

7th data element

The field follows ISO 8601: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.T, where YYYY stands for the year, MM for the month, DD for the day, HH for hours, MM for minutes, SS for seconds and .T for tenths of a second. Missing details are padded with zeros. The time may be truncated at any point or left out altogether.
