CC TAG6 – Authentication

To be sure that you receive a CC Container with an original CC TAG6 label, (which is not re-used), you can authenticate the RFID chip in the label with a RFID scanner in combination with the CC4scanner app. CC has a unique Brand Identifier code in the RFID which can be authenticated by the RFID scanner without the need of an online connection with Wi-Fi or Internet.  

For customers who do not have a RFID scanner, CC developed a second authentication method via a mobile phone app (Android and IOS )  

1. Smaller loop; made of spring metal
2. Housing; yellow & transparent
3. Guiding pins for closing
4. A number of features both inside and outside of the label; here you see the hologram, also a label number and the CC logo are part of the features
5. Data matrix with breakline
6. Closing pin

The leading authentication method for CC will remain the RFID authentication. In case of doubts the RFID scan result prevails over the smartphone method.

• The HH83/85 scanner, similar to the CC TAG5 authentication.
• TC27 connected to the advised RFID pistol grip.

Both available in the webshop, including the service package with automatic updates and support if any issues occur.

Furthermore, if you already have an TC22, TC21 or TC26 you can install the app yourself on these devices under the pre-conditions:

1. All updates of the app have to be installed manually on your device as well (no automatic updates as with devices purchased in the webshop)
2. The app only works on the TC21 and TC26 when the RFID reader is connected using a pin connector. Not all TC26/TC21 are equipped with this connection.

• The GS Ecco is  not supported by the suppliers anymore for an update.
• The scanners can also authenticate the CC TAG6 but will not recognize the difference between a CC TAG5 and CC TAG6 so they will count and scan both labels.

• Functionalities of the CC4scan app are:   

• • Authenticates the CCTAG6 labels in different configurations,  

• • Counts the number of CC TAG6 labels

Yes, you can create different levels of authorizations in the app. You can find the instructions in My CC. If you are having difficulties contact Lyngoe Service Desk.

There are different scanning configurations possible, but CC advises to only use the Close read mode. This gives you direct information which label in a stack cannot be read.

CC launches an app (Android and iOS) for smartphones as an alternative for RFID authentication of the CC TAG6 label. With the installed app you can authenticate the CC TAG6 label based on a combination of visual techniques. This authentication method is more time consuming and less accurate compared to RFID authentication. Therefore, RFID scanning is the preferred authentication method and in case of doubts the RFID scan result prevails over the smartphone method.

Container Centralen will do its utmost to protect the CC Container Pool and will act when someone infringes the IP rights of Container Centralen. Any party infringing our IP rights will be brought to justice and will be excluded from the CC Container Pool. To avoid logistic disturbance CC will replace a limited number of fake TAG6 labels for an original CC TAG6 label. These incidents will be recorded and the customer who hands in these containers with a fake label will be informed and invoiced. CC will charge € 30 euro pool protection fee per fake label. When the number of fake labels exceeds a threshold, further action will be taken.

You should refuse the CC Container base delivery. If you mistakenly have accepted one or more non-genuine labels, you should remove them. Having non-genuine labels in your possession is unlawful and punishable. Non-genuine labels (together with relevant contact details of the provider) can be exchanged at Container Centralen for a fee. We advise our customers to send a corresponding invoice to the provider of the containers with the fake labels (customer or supplier etc.). Reference is made to article 4.3 of the General Conditions CC Container system. CC will monitor and analyses the quantity and type of labels when a customer requests an exchange.
