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 3.
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 part of ISO 9735 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9735-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 154, Processes, data elements and documents in
commerce, industry and administration in collaboration with UN/CEFACT through the Joint Syntax Working Group
(JSWG).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9735-1:1998) to which one new feature to the
EDIFACT syntax, version 4 has been added: Syntax release identification. However ISO 9735:1988 and its
Amendment 1:1992 are provisionally retained for the reasons given in clause 2.
Furthermore, for maintenance reasons the Syntax service directories have been removed from this and all other
parts of ISO 9735. They are now consolidated in a new part, ISO 9735-10.
At the time of publication of ISO 9735-1:1998, ISO 9735-10 had been allocated as a part for “Security rules for
interactive EDI”. This was subsequently withdrawn because of lack of user support, and as a result, all relevant
references to the title “Security rules for interactive EDI” have been removed in this second edition of ISO 9735-1.
Definitions from all parts of the ISO 9735 series have been consolidated and included in this part of ISO 9735.
The Introduction has also been updated to summarize the new feature and all other changes.
Together with ISO 9735-2, this part of ISO 9735 is an enhancement of ISO 9735:1988 and its Amendment 1:1992.
ISO 9735 consists of the following parts, under the general title Electronic data interchange for administration,
commerce and transport (EDIFACT) — Application level syntax rules (Syntax version number: 4, Syntax release
number: 1):
— Part 1: Syntax rules common to all parts
— Part 2: Syntax rules specific to batch EDI
— Part 3: Syntax rules specific to interactive EDI
— Part 4: Syntax and service report message for batch EDI (message type — CONTRL)
— Part 5: Security rules for batch EDI (authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation of origin)
— Part 6: Secure authentication and acknowledgement message (message type — AUTACK)
— Part 7: Security rules for batch EDI (confidentiality)
— Part 8: Associated data in EDI
— Part 9: Security key and certificate management message (message type — KEYMAN)
— Part 10: Syntax service directories
Further parts may be added in the future.
Annex A forms a normative part of this part of ISO 9735. Annexes B, C and D are for information only.

Introduction
This part of ISO 9735 includes the rules at the application level for the structuring of data in the interchange of
electronic messages in an open environment, based on the requirements of either batch or interactive processing.
These rules have been agreed by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) as syntax rules
for Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport (EDIFACT) and are part of the United
Nations Trade Data Interchange Directory (UNTDID) which also includes both batch and interactive Message
Design Guidelines.
This part of ISO 9735 may be used in any application, but messages using these rules may only be referred to as
EDIFACT messages if they comply with other guidelines, rules and directories in the UNTDID. For UN/EDIFACT
messages, the message design rules for batch or interactive usage apply, as appropriate. These rules are
maintained in the UNTDID.
Communications specifications and protocols are outside the scope of this part of ISO 9735
