Health informatics - Identification of medicinal products - Data elements and structures for the unique identification and exchange of units of measurement (ISO 11240:2012)

ISO 11240:2012:
specifies rules for the usage and coded representation of units of measurement for the purpose of exchanging information about quantitative medicinal product characteristics that require units of measurement  (e.g. strength) in the human medicine domain;
establishes requirements for units in order to provide traceability to international metrological standards;
provides rules for the standardized and machine-readable documentation of quantitative composition and strength of medicinal products, specifically in the context of medicinal product identification;
defines the requirements for the representation of units of measurement in coded form;
provides structures and rules for mapping between different unit vocabularies and language translations to support the implementation of ISO 11240:2012, taking into account that existing systems, dictionaries and repositories use a variety of terms and codes for the representation of units.
The scope of ISO 11240:2012 is limited to the representation of units of measurement for data interchange between computer applications.

Medizinische Informatik - Identifikation von Arzneimitteln - Datenelemente, Struktur und kontrolliertes Vokabular für Maßeinheiten (ISO 11240:2012)

Diese Internationale Norm:
- legt Regeln für die Verwendung und kodierte Repräsentation von Maßeinheiten fest für den Austausch
von Informationen zu quantitativen Arzneimittelmerkmalen (z. B. Stärke) im Bereich der Humanmedizin,
bei denen die Angabe von Maßeinheiten erforderlich ist;
- stellt Anforderungen an Einheiten auf, um eine Rückführung auf internationale metrologische Normale zu
ermöglichen;
- gibt Regeln an für die genormte und maschinenlesbare Dokumentation der quantitativen Zusammensetzung
und Stärke von Arzneimitteln, vor allem im Zusammenhang mit der Arzneimittel-Identifikation;
- definiert die Anforderungen an die Repräsentation von Maßeinheiten in kodierter Form;
- stellt Strukturen und Regeln bereit, um unterschiedliche Vokabularien und Übersetzungen im
Zusammenhang mit Einheiten aufeinander abbilden zu können und so die Implementierung dieser Norm
zu unterstützen, wobei berücksichtigt wird, dass bestehende Systeme, Wörterbücher und Verzeichnisse
eine Vielzahl von Benennungen und Codes für die Darstellung von Einheiten anwenden.
Der Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm ist auf die Repräsentation von Maßeinheiten zum Datenaustausch
zwischen Rechneranwendungen begrenzt.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented 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 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 Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 11240:2012(E)
Introduction
This 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 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 — 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 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 administration 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
regulatory 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 pharmacovigilance, 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 regulator;
— 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 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 definitions
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 interpretation 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 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 reference for:
— unit concepts,
...
