26、e United Nations that regulates the universal postal service. The postal services of its 189 member countries form the largest physical 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 let
27、ters-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, posts are increasingly using new communication and information technologies to move beyond what is tr
28、aditionally 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 maintains a growing number of standards to improve the exchange of postal-related information between
29、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. The Standards Board ensures that coherent standards are developed in areas such as electronic data i
30、nterchange (EDI), mail encoding, postal forms and meters. UPU standards are published in accordance with the rules given in Part VII of the General information on UPU standards, which may be freely downloaded from the UPU world-wide web site (www.upu.int).3 DIN CEN/TS 15844-5 (DIN SPEC 66294-5):2011
31、-03 CEN/TS 15844-5:2010 (E) Introduction A general introduction to all parts of the 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 small letters. For consistency with Part -4 of the specifi
32、cation, on which it depends, it is arranged under six main headings: Clause No. Description of content 5 Usage limitations: defines limitations on the use of the Postal-4i 4-state encoding of ID-tags specified in this document; 6 Value range limitations: defines limitations on the values of data ele
33、ments used in ID-tags which are to be represented on small letters in the form of a Postal-4i bar code; 7 Encoding specification: specifies the construction of a 4-state bar code from ID-tag data elements; 8 Printing of the bar code: to allow the association of computer data with a physical item, th
34、e ID-tag is printed on the item itself. This clause defines required ink and printing parameters; 9 Reading and interpretation of Postal-4i ID-tags: specifies the validation and error correction requirements associated with the reading of ID-tags represented using Postal-4i symbology; 10 Conversion
35、to the message and binary representations: describes the correspondence between 4-state bar coded representation and the binary and message interchange representations defined in CEN/TS 15844-1. These are complemented by two informative annexes, the first providing references to an example implement
36、ation of the Postal-4i ID-tag generation algorithm and the second providing a number of example ID-tags, generated using this implementation. 4 DIN CEN/TS 15844-5 (DIN SPEC 66294-5):2011-03 CEN/TS 15844-5:2010 (E) 1 Scope This part of the Technical Specification defines the representation of ID-tags
37、 as a Postal-4i symbology 4-state bar code printed on the front side of small letters. Postal-4i symbology 4-state encoding is the only encoding specification supported by this Technical Specification 3)for the printing of ID-tags on the front of items. NOTE Representation in the form of fluorescent
38、 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 this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
39、 references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. CEN/TS 15844-1:2010, Postal services ID-tagging of letter mail items Part 1: ID-tag structure, message and binary UPU S48, Postal-4i: 4-state symbology and its use for the encoding of data on postal items
40、3 Terms and definitions A number of common terms used in this document are defined in the UPU Standards glossary, in documents referred to in normative references and in the bibliography. Definition of frequently used or particularly important terms as well as other terms introduced in this document
41、 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 use on the front side of small letters in area F1. Printing of ID-tags in this
42、 area is allowed only on domestic items and on items addressed to countries in which the delivery post has confirmed willingness to accept items with a 4-state ID-tag in that area. NOTE 1 Many posts use area F1 for the encoding of routing data, used to support automated sorting of both domestic and
43、incoming cross-border items. The printing of an ID-tag in area F1 on cross-border items to countries which require F1 to be kept clear for this purpose could cause serious disruption to such countries automated processing systems and could result in misprocessing or substantial delay to the items co
44、ncerned. It would also be in breach of the UPU letter post regulations. This Technical Specification therefore requires that postal administrations making use of area F1 for ID-tag encoding should take care to avoid such use of area F1 on items addressed to other countries that have not declared the
45、ir willingness to accept items with an ID-tag in area F1 as standard items. 3) References to “this Technical Specification“ should be interpreted as references to CEN/TS 15844 as a whole, not only to Part 5. 5 DIN CEN/TS 15844-5 (DIN SPEC 66294-5):2011-03 CEN/TS 15844-5:2010 (E) The specification ma
46、y be applied to the printing of ID-tags in other areas on the front of items. It shall not be used in area R1 on the reverse side. NOTE 2 Usage in other areas on the front is permitted, but could result in interference with, or by, codes placed by other systems and is not recommended. NOTE 3 Usage o
47、n the reverse side, and particularly usage in area R1, could seriously disturb the operation of older systems which are designed to work only with BNB encodings of ID-tags and is not permitted. 6 Value range limitations The value range limitations defined in CEN/TS 15844-4 apply also to this part of
48、 the Technical Specification. 7 Encoding specification The bar code shall be generated in compliance with UPU standard S48, using the following parameters: a) format code (f) value: equal to bits 0-3 of the binary ID-tag value, as defined in CEN/TS 15844-1; NOTE 1 This assists in distinguishing Post
49、al-4i ID-tags from other bar codes which use Postal-4i symbology. See S48 for a definition of the symbology parameters f, l, r, c and n. b) left synchronisation code (l) value: 010110 (22 decimal); c) right synchronisation code (r) value: 100110 (38 decimal); NOTE 2 This also assists in distinguishing Postal-4i ID-tags from other bar codes which use Postal-4i symbology. d) number of variable data codewords (c) value: 13; e) bar code length (n): 1) on domestic items: 57 or 75, with 75 being recommended unless the bar code
