Diese Technische Spezifikation legt die Darstellung von ID-Kennzeichen als 78-stelligen Strich-Zwischen-raum-Strichcode (BNB-78) fest, der mit fluoreszierender Druckfarbe im Bereich R1 auf die Rckseite von Sendungen gedruckt wird. Die C
9、odierung BNB-78 ist eine der beiden Codierungsspezifikationen, die von der gesamten Reihe DIN CEN/TS 15844 (DIN SPEC 66294) fr das Drucken von ID-Kennzeichen im Bereich R1 untersttzt werden; die andere Codierung ist BNB-62, die in DIN CEN/TS 15844-3 (DIN SPEC 66294-3) definiert ist. Die Codierung BN
10、B-78 ersetzt die frhere Codierung BNB-62 und muss immer dann angewendet werden, wenn ID-Kennzeichen im Bereich R1 auf der Rckseite von Briefsendungen einer Gre bis einschlielich C5 von Herausgebern angebracht werden, die nicht ausdrcklich berechtigt sind, weiterhin die Codierung BNB-62 zu verwenden,
11、 wie An Post (Irland), Canada Post und United States Postal Service.

The postal services of its 189 member countries form the largest physical distribution network in the world. Some 5 million postal employ
29、ees 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 post annually. Keeping pace with the changing communications market,
30、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 products and value-added services.2)The UPUs Standards Board develops and m
31、aintains 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, suppliers and other partners, including various international organizations.
32、 The Standards Board ensures that coherent standards are developed in areas such as electronic data interchange (EDI), mail encoding, postal forms and meters.

T
34、his part deals only with the encoding of ID-tags in the form of a 78-position bar-no-bar code, BNB-78, printed on the reverse side of items, in area R1, using fluorescent ink. It is arranged under six main headings: Clause No. Description of content 5 Usage limitations requirement for a special issu
35、er code: explains the requirement for issuers wishing to use the BNB-78 ID-tag representation to obtain a special issuer code for this purpose; 6 Value range limitations: defines limitations on the values of data elements used in ID-tags which are to be represented on items in the form of a BNB-78 b
36、ar code; 7 Encoding specification: specifies the construction of a 78-position bar-no-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 printin
37、g parameters; 9 Reading and interpretation of BNB-78 bar codes: specifies the validation and error correction requirements associated with the reading of ID-tags represented using BNB-78 bar codes; 10 Conversion to the message and binary representations: describes the correspondence between BNB-78 r
38、epresentation and the binary and message interchange representations defined in CEN/TS 15844-1. The above definition is supported by two informative annexes: Error detection and correction algorithms: provides example implementations of the error detection and correction algorithms used in encoding
39、and reading the BNB-78 representation of the ID-tag. Other implementations are possible and, depending on the environment, might well be more efficient. The examples nevertheless serve as a possible baseline, and can be used for verifying the correctness of a different implementation. S18 ID-tag 78-
40、position BNB bar code template: provides a template which can be used for manual decoding of the data elements in printed BNB-78 representations of an ID-tag. Such manual decoding should be used with caution since, unless the complete bar code is read and processed through the appropriate error dete
41、ction/correction algorithm, there is no certainty that the value obtained has been read correctly. DIN CEN/TS 15844-2 (DIN SPEC 66294-2):2011-03 B55EB1B3E14C22109E918E8EA43EDB30F09DCCB7EF8DD9NormCD - Stand 2012-03 CEN/TS 15844-2:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This part of the Technical Specification defines the
42、 representation of ID-tags as a 78-position bar-no-bar code (BNB-78) printed in fluorescent ink in area R1 on the reverse side of items. BNB-78 encoding is one of two encoding specifications supported by this Technical Specification 3) for the printing of ID-tags in area R1, the other being BNB-62,
43、which is specified in CEN/TS 15844-3. NOTE 1 Representation in the form of a 4-state code printed on the front of the item is covered in CEN/TS 15844-4 for flats and CEN/TS 15844-5 for small letters. BNB-78 encoding supersedes the earlier specified BNB-62 encoding and shall be applied in all cases i
44、n which ID-tags are placed in area R1 on the reverse side of letter mail items of size up to and including C5, by issuers other than those explicitly authorised to continue use of BNB-62 encoding, namely An Post (Ireland), Canada Post and United States Postal Service. NOTE 2 ID-tags encoded in area
45、R1 are required by article RL 123 of the UPU Letter Post Regulations 1 to be compliant with UPU standard S18 and by this with the related CEN/TS 15844. This supports only two encodings in area R1, namely BNB-78 as defined herein and BNB-62 as defined in CEN/TS 15844-3. The latter is authorised for c
46、ontinued use only by the three issuers mentioned above. Where ID-tags are used, and are applied in area R1 on the reverse side of letter mail items of size up to and including C5, the use of BNB-78 encoding is mandatory for all other issuers. NOTE 3 BNB-78 encoding is not considered suitable for use on flats. CEN/TS 15844-4 defines a 4-state encoding which may be used for this purpose. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable
