The "00" is the Application Identifier which identifies the data as SSCC-18
The [data] is a fixed length data structure of 17 digits. This is a unique number consisting of these parts:
1 digit for Extension: The Extension digit has no predetermined logic; it is freely available to the member company (a member of the national EAN or UCC organization). In general it refers to Packaging Type
7 digits for UCC/EAN Company Prefix: The EAN/UPC Company Prefix identifies the shipping company. It is assigned by the UCC or EAN to a member company. (In Germany this is called "BBN" - "Bundeseinheitliche Betriebsnummer".)
9 digits for Serial Reference Number: The Serial Reference Number is assigned by the member company to identify an individual shipping container
The checksum is added automatically (Modulo 10).
