Each EPC has a unique identifier to allow it to be stored and located on the central register – this identifier is known as the Report Reference Number (RRN) and can be found at the top left of the front page of the EPC.

You must manually enter the RRN from your EPC into the field – note that the formatting is enforced, so you do not need to enter the hyphens between the numbers. A What is this?
