The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), (now known as Info-communications
Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA)) has appointed GS1 Singapore on 8 March 2001, the then Singapore Article Number Council (SANC) as Singapore National Registration Authority for OID (SNRAOID) to implement and administer a system for the issuance of object identifiers (OIDs) in Singapore.
Immediate allocation of unique OID upon receipt of OID application
All members of SNRAOID shall enjoy all the privileges extended to members of GS1 Singapore Council. Some of the potential benefits include :
An Object identifier (OID) is basically a string of numbers. It is usually allocated in a hierarchical manner.
The allocation of OID is based on ISO 8824 standard. Under ISO 8824, OID numbers shall take the following hierarchical structure :
The International Standards Authority under arc 1 refers to International Standards Organisation
(ISO). The digit allocated for ISO is “1”.
National Member Body The National Member Body under arc 2 refers to the National Member Body of ISO. The digit allocated for all National Member Body of ISO is “2”. In the case of Singapore, SPRING Singapore is the National Member Body representing Singapore at ISO. The digit allocated for SPRING Singapore is “2”.
The National Country Number under arc 3 refers to the Country in which the National Registration Authority operates. In this case, under ISO 3166, the digit allocated for Singapore is “702”.
The 5th arc refers to the organisation that has registered with SNRAOID for an unique object
identifier. A 4-digit organisation code will be allocated to a registered organisation by SNRAOID.
When combining the above-mentioned 5 arcs, the entire OID should read as 1-2-702-0-XXXX.
Please note that organisation that has registered with SNRAOID will be able to assign object
identifier values for its own purpose and in its own proprietary information format. Autonomy is left to the organisation to manage their own object identifier values under their own system. The
organisation can assign alpha or alpha-numeric identification numbers behind the respective
company prefixes allocated to them. These numbers after allocation need not be submitted to the SNRAOID for record.
The application fee for SNRAOID membership shall be S$817.50 (S$750.00 + 9% GST). This amount is only a one-time payment at the point of registering for SNRAOID membership. The first year entrance fee paid upon joining is non refundable and non-transferable.
The annual subscription fee for SNRAOID membership shall be S$817.50 (S$750.00 + 9% GST). This annual fee shall be paid in January of each year to cover fee period January to December of that particular year. The full year subscription fee paid upon joining is non-refundable and non-
transferable.
We hereby invite you to become a member of SNRAOID. Companies who wish to join SNRAOID are requested to fill in the membership application form and send it to contact@gs1.org.sg.
