This is generally assigned per assembly lot number. The date code can be derived as the YYWW data of the trace code.

Multiple trace codes are separated by the slash (/) symbol. This means there are mixed reels or trays. A maximum of four trace codes is allowed per inner box.

Inner box label

The trace code quantity appears only on the 2D barcode.
