The scope of this paper focuses on facilities with codes that are common to all supply chains, namely the BIC facility code and SMDG terminal code which are child codes of the UN/LOCODE .
The purpose of this paper is to define the rules for these facilities and outline the methodology, providing consistency and a drive towards quality geofences that can be used and trusted by industry.
Other types of facilities such as shipper locations and logistic platforms (intermodal area) are not within scope of this paper; however, the intention is that the paper will serve as a reference for evaluating and drawing geofences for other types of facilities.
