Short answer
eUCP Version 2.1 is the ICC supplement to UCP 600 for presenting electronic records, alone or with paper documents, under a Letter of Credit. It applies only when the credit says it is subject to eUCP; it then sets rules on format, place of presentation, notice of completeness and data corruption, while UCP 600 still applies to everything else.
