DIN EN ISO 11240:2013-03 EN ISO 11240:2012 (E) 3 IntroductionThis International Standard was developed in response to a worldwide demand for internationally harmonized specifications for medicinal products. It is one of five standards which together provide the basis
29、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 information;ISO 11616, Health informatics Id
30、entification 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 identification and exchange of reg
31、ulated 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 administration and packaging;ISO 11240,
32、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 regulatory agencies worldwide by jurisdictio
33、n. 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 pharmacovigilance, it is necessary to reliably
34、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 regulator; regulator to other stakeholde
35、r; 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 applications where it is necessary
36、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 definitions given in this International St
37、andard 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 interpretation and application of legal
38、 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 are several alternative approaches
39、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 reference for: unit concepts,DIN EN IS
40、O 11240:2013-03 EN ISO 11240:2012 (E) 4 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, taking into consideration the various approaches currently
41、 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 underlying metrological concepts, especially to the SI system o
42、f 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 existing unit vocabularies in current use;b) to facilitate el
43、ectronic 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 are used to express these results. The situation is furth
44、er 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 medicinal products, particularly for exchange between inform
45、ation 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 readability.Universal principles for the expression of measuremen
46、ts 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 summarized in 4.2.Implementation of this International Standard
47、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 was designed with a rather general view on units of mea
48、surement. Therefore, it is also potentially applicable in other contexts.DIN EN ISO 11240:2013-03 EN ISO 11240:2012 (E) 5 1 ScopeThis International Standard: specifies rules for the usage and coded representation of units of measurement for the purpose of exchanging information about quantitative me
