No NHS Data Dictionary entry - this is GS1's own global standard, not an NHS-specific data item. See GS1 Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) and GS1 Pathology. The generic, non-GS1 equivalent already used elsewhere in this IG is Shipment Tracking Number.
Ubiquitous terms: SSCC, Shipping Container Code, Tracking Number.
