20、012-03 CEN/TS 15844-4:2010 (E) 3 Foreword This document (CEN/TS 15844-4:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 331 “Postal services”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

21、rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. NOTE This document has been prepared by experts coming from CEN/TC 331 and UPU, under the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding between the UPU and CEN. This document, CEN/TS 15844-4, is th

22、e CEN equivalent of UPU 1)standard S18d-10. It may be amended only after prior consultation, between CEN/TC 331 and the UPU Standards Board, in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between CEN and the UPU. The UPUs contribution to the document was made, by the UPU Standards Board 2)and it

23、s sub-groups, in accordance with the rules given in Part V of the “General information on UPU standards“. This document forms Part 4 of a multi-part CEN/TS 15844, Postal services ID-tagging of letter-mail items. It should be read in conjunction with the main body of the specification, Part 1. The pr

24、esent document provides a specification of the encoding of S18 ID-tags using a 4-state symbology that may be applied to flats. CEN/TS 15844-5 provides a similar specification for application to the front side of small letters. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards

25、 organizations of the following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,

26、Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 1)The Universal Postal Union (UPU) is the specialized institution of the United Nations that regulates the universal postal service. The postal services of its 189 member countries form the largest phys

27、ical distribution network in the world. Some 5 million postal employees working in over 660 000 post offices all over the world handle an annual total of 425 billion letters-post items in the domestic service and almost 6,7 billion in the international service. Some 4,5 billion parcels are sent by p

28、ost annually. Keeping pace with the changing communications market, posts are increasingly using new communication and information technologies to move beyond what is traditionally regarded as their core postal business. They are meeting higher customer expectations with an expanded range of product

29、s and value-added services.2)The UPUs Standards Board develops and maintains a growing number of standards to improve the exchange of postal-related information between posts, and promotes the compatibility of UPU and international postal initiatives. It works closely with posts, customers, supplier

30、s and other partners, including various international organizations. The Standards Board ensures that coherent standards are developed in areas such as electronic data interchange (EDI), mail encoding, postal forms and meters. UPU standards are published in accordance with the rules given in Part VI

31、I of the General information on UPU standards, which may be freely downloaded from the UPU world-wide web site (www.upu.int).DIN CEN/TS 15844-4 (DIN SPEC 66294-4):2011-03 B55EB1B3E14C22109E918E8EA43EDB30F09DCCB7EF8DD9NormCD - Stand 2012-03 CEN/TS 15844-4:2010 (E) 4 Introduction A general introductio

32、n to all parts of the Technical Specification is provided in CEN/TS 15844-1. This part deals only with the encoding of ID-tags in the form of a 4-state bar code printed on the front side of flats. It is arranged under six main headings: Clause No. Description of content 5 Usage limitations: defines

33、limitations on the use of the Postal-4i encoding of ID-tags specified in this document. 6 Value range limitations: defines limitations on the values of data elements used in ID-tags which are to be represented on flats in the form of a Postal-4i bar code. 7 Encoding specification: specifies the cons

34、truction of a Postal-4i bar code from ID-tag data elements. 8 Printing of the bar code: to allow the association of computer data with a physical item, the ID-tag is printed on the item itself. This clause defines required ink and printing parameters. 9 Reading and interpretation of Postal-4i bar co

35、des: specifies the validation and error correction requirements associated with the reading of ID-tags represented using Postal-4i bar codes. 10 Conversion to the message and binary representations: describes the correspondence between Postal-4i bar coded representation and the binary and message in

36、terchange representations defined in CEN/TS 15844-1. These are complemented by two informative annexes, the first providing references to an example implementation of the Postal-4i ID-tag generation algorithm and the second providing a number of example ID-tags, generated using this implementation.

37、DIN CEN/TS 15844-4 (DIN SPEC 66294-4):2011-03 B55EB1B3E14C22109E918E8EA43EDB30F09DCCB7EF8DD9NormCD - Stand 2012-03 CEN/TS 15844-4:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This part of the Technical Specification defines the representation of ID-tags as a Postal-4i symbology 4-state bar code printed on the front side of f

38、lats. Many of the provisions are applicable also to small letters and are therefore referenced by Part 5 of the specification (CEN/TS 15844-5), which covers these. Postal-4i symbology 4-state encoding is the only encoding specification supported by this Technical Specification 3) for the printing of

39、 ID-tags on the front of items. NOTE Representation in the form of fluorescent BNB bar codes printed on the reverse side of small letters (not flats) is covered in CEN/TS 15844-2 and CEN/TS 15844-3. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of th

40、is document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

Definition of frequently used or p

42、articularly important terms as well as other terms introduced in this document are given below. See CEN/TS 15844-1:2010. 4 Symbols and abbreviations See CEN/TS 15844-1:2010. 5 Usage limitations The 4-state bar coded representation of ID-tags defined in this part of the specification is intended for

43、use only in area F4 or F4X on the front side of flats; it shall not be used in area R1 on the reverse side. NOTE Usage in other areas on the front could result in interference with, or by, codes placed by other systems. Usage on the reverse side, and particularly usage in area R1, could seriously di

44、sturb the operation of older systems which are designed to work only with BNB encodings of ID-tags. 3)References to “this Technical Specification“ should be interpreted as references to CEN/TS 15844 as a whole, not only to Part 4.
