Postal services - ID-tagging of letter mail items - Part 2: BNB-78 Encoding Specification

This part of the Technical Specification defines the 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  ) for the printing of ID-tags in area R1, the other being BNB-62, 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 in 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 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 continued 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.

Poštne storitve - Označevanje poštnih pošiljk z identifikacijsko številko - 2. del: Specifikacija kodiranja BNB-78

Ta del tehnične specifikacije določa prikaz identifikacijske številke v obliki 78-mestne kode BNB-78, ki je natisnjena s fluorescentnim črnilom na območju R1 na hrbtni strani pošiljk. Kodiranje BNB-78 je ena od dveh specifikacij kodiranja za tiskanje identifikacijskih številk na območju R1, ki ju podpira ta tehnična specifikacija (3); druga specifikacija je BNB-62, ki jo določa standard CEN/TS 15844-3. OPOMBA 1: Prikaz v obliki 4-statusne črtne kode, natisnjene na sprednji strani navadnih pisem, obravnavata standarda CEN/TS 15844-4 za večja pisma in CEN/TS 15844-5 za navadna pisma. Kodiranje BNB-78 nadomešča prej specificirano kodiranje BNB-62 in se uporablja v vseh primerih, kjer identifikacijske številke na območje R1 na hrbtno stran poštne pošiljke do vključno velikosti C5 namestijo izdajatelji, ki jim ni izrecno dovoljena nadaljnja uporaba kodiranja BNB-62, kamor sodijo An Post (Irska), Canada Post in United States Postal Service. OPOMBA 2: Identifikacijske številke, ki se nahajajo na območju R1, morajo biti po členu RL 123 Pravilnika o pisemski pošti UPU [1] v skladu s standardom UPU S18 – in s tem s standardom CEN/TS 15844. Ta podpira le dve kodiranji na območju R1, zlasti BNB-78, kot je določen v tej specifikaciji, in BNB-62, kot je določen v standardu CEN/TS 15844-3. Slednjega lahko še naprej uporabljajo le zgoraj navedeni trije izdajatelji. Če se identifikacijske številke uporabljajo na območju R1 na hrbtni strani poštne pošiljke do vključno velikosti C5, je uporaba kodiranja BNB-78 obvezna za vse ostale izdajatelje. OPOMBA 3: Kodiranje BNB-78 ni ustrezno za večja pisma. Standard CEN/TS 15844-4 določa 4-statusno črtno kodo, ki se lahko uporablja za ta namen.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 1 December 2008 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
