Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented
20、on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted
21、 in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standar

It is one of five standard
24、s which together provide the basis for the unique identification of medicinal products. The group of standards comprises:ISO 11615, Health informatics Identification of medicinal products Data elements and structures for the unique identification and exchange of regulated medicinal product informati
25、on;ISO 11616, Health informatics Identification of medicinal products Data elements and structures for the unique identification and exchange of regulated pharmaceutical product information;ISO 11238, Health informatics Identification of medicinal products Data elements and structures for the unique
26、 identification and exchange of regulated information on substances;ISO 11239, Health informatics Identification of medicinal products Data elements and structures for the unique identification and exchange of regulated information on pharmaceutical dose forms, units of presentation, routes of admin
27、istration and packaging;ISO 11240, Health informatics Identification of medicinal products Data elements and structures for the unique identification and exchange of units of measurement.These standards for the Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP) support the activities of medicines regulator
28、y agencies worldwide by jurisdiction. These include a variety of regulatory activities related to development, registration and life cycle management of medicinal products, as well as pharmacovigilance and risk management.To meet the primary objectives of the regulation of medicines and pharmacovigi
29、lance, it is necessary to reliably exchange medicinal product information in a robust and reliable manner. The IDMP standards therefore support the following interactions (this is not an exhaustive list): regulator to regulator; pharmaceutical company to regulator; sponsor of clinical trial to regul
30、ator; regulator to other stakeholder; regulator to worldwide-maintained data sources.The necessary messaging specifications are included as an integral part of the IDMP standards to secure the interactions above.Unique identifiers produced in conformance with the IDMP standards are aimed to support
31、applications where it is necessary to reliably identify and trace the use of medicinal products.There are many terms in use to describe basic concepts in the regulatory, pharmaceutical and healthcare standards development domain for different purposes and in different contexts. The terms and definit
32、ions given in this International Standard are to be applied for the concepts which are required to uniquely identify, characterize and exchange regulated medicinal products and associated information.The terms and definitions adopted in this International Standard are intended to facilitate the inte
33、rpretation and application of legal and regulatory requirements but they are without prejudice to any legally binding document. In case of doubt or potential conflict, the terms and definitions contained in legally binding documents prevail.In the context of measurement terminology, currently there
34、are several alternative approaches possible for expressing units of measurement that can be used in a given instance. For purposes of electronic data exchange, it is therefore necessary to promote and encourage the adoption of a single standardized vocabulary that can be used as an international ref
35、erence for: unit concepts, ISO 2012 All rights reserved vBS EN ISO 11240:2012ISO 11240:2012(E) concept definitions, where applicable, and concept identifiers.This standardized vocabulary also needs to provide standardized structures that describe the mapping from and to the reference vocabulary, tak
36、ing into consideration the various approaches currently being applied. This helps to ensure that terms and identifiers currently used to represent units of measurement in the drug regulatory, pharmacovigilance and healthcare environments are mapped in a standardized and traceable way to the underlyi
37、ng metrological concepts, especially to the SI system of units. This will help ease implementation of this International Standard without impacting on the unit terms currently in use.The purpose of this International Standard is twofold:a) to address the issues outlined above by connecting to existi
38、ng unit vocabularies in current use;b) to facilitate electronic information exchange and interoperability that enables the unique and categorical identification of a medicinal product.Results of measurements are essential for the identification of medicinal products. However, often different ways ar
39、e used to express these results. The situation is further complicated by differences in the ways they are expressed in national legislation and in local administration. From the many available conventions, a consensus should therefore be reached on how to express the results of measurements on medic
40、inal products, particularly for exchange between information systems. Standardized structures are required in order to capture and exchange the terms representing the coded concepts for purposes of displaying and printing the concept representations in various languages suitable for human readabilit
41、y.Universal principles for the expression of measurements have been specified in the ISO 31, ISO 1000 and ISO 80000 series of standards, which implement the International System of Units (SI) defined by the General Conference on Weights and Measures. The implications of those standards are summarize
42、d in 4.2.Implementation of this International Standard will provide wider comprehension and interaction between countries and specialists in the field of medicinal product identification and pharmacovigilance.While the immediate scope is medicinal product identification, this International Standard
43、was designed with a rather general view on units of measurement. Therefore, it is also potentially applicable in other contexts.vi ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 11240:2012INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11240:2012(E)Health informatics Identification of medicinal products Data elements and structu
