Clause 7: Instances by device type – ISO/IEC 27037:2012

ISO/IEC 27037:2012 7.2.1.1: 7.2.1.1 Overview

A networked device can be recognised from its parts and accessories (maker logos, serial numbers, docking cradles, chargers), helped by: its observable design; its interface (power connectors are often maker-specific); its label (inside a powered-off mobile's battery bay, identifiers such as the 15-digit IMEI which on GSM handsets encodes the maker, the model and where it was type-approved, or the 32-bit ESN whose leading bits identify the maker, especially useful with a lookup database); and, for phones with a known number, a reverse lookup to find the network operator. Because mobile devices are small, the DEFR takes extra care to find all relevant ones, secures the scene so nobody removes devices, and protects devices that may hold evidence from unauthorised access. Where communication must not be interrupted, authorised people are told of the possible problems (for example not alerting unknown parties by shutting a device down).
