(To view a file in PDF format, you need Adobe Reader, a free application distributed by Adobe Systems.)

Process Indicator Code

Process Indicator Code (PIC) is the fourth of the five elements in the product code. This element is one character in length, and is always an alpha character or a \"-\". It specifies either the process, storage or dosage form depending on the type of product. In the case of kitchenware, the PIC describes the material that the product is made of. At this time, it is not used in coding some products such as cosmetics, medical device product codes and some animal use products. The PIC code is represented by a hyphen \"-\" for those Industries to which it does not apply.

Product

The fifth and last element that comprises the \"product code.\" A two-characters code that may contain either numeric or alpha data. The Product relates directly to a particular Industry/Class combination. For example, for the Fishery/Seafood Industry Class and the Smoked Class within that Industry, specific types of seafood (sole, flounder, salmon, etc.) would have specific Product element values.
