This document specifies security block (SB) formats (see ISO/IEC 19785-1) registered in accordance with ISO/IEC 19785-2 as formats defined by the Common Biometric Exchange Formats Framework (CBEFF) biometric organization ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 37. This document also specifies registered SB format identifiers. NOTE The SB format identifier is recorded in the standard biometric header (SBH) of a patron format (or defined by that patron format as the only available SB format). The general-purpose SB format specifies whether the biometric data block (BDB) is encrypted or the SBH and BDB have integrity applied (or both). The general-purpose SB format can include ACBio instances (see ISO/IEC 24761). This SB provides all necessary security parameters, including those used for encryption or integrity. This document does not restrict the algorithms and parameters used for encryption or integrity, but it provides for the recording of such algorithms and parameter values. This document does not cover profiling to determine what algorithms and parameter ranges can be used by the generator of an SB for a particular application area, and hence what algorithms and parameter ranges have to be supported by the user of an SB. The second SB format is more limited but simpler. In particular, it cannot contain ACBio instances and does not support encryption of the BDB. The general-purpose SB format in XML provides for specification of whether the BDB is encrypted or the SBH and BDB have integrity applied (or both).

This document specifies general safety and performance requirements for design and testing as well as limited sustainability considerations such as recovery of nutrients, water consumption and reuse, energy consumption and recovery, and a life cycle assessment for non-sewered sanitation systems (NSSS). This document is applicable to NSSS that are either manufactured as one package, or manufactured as a set of prefabricated components designed to be assembled in one location without further fabrication or modification that influences the NSSS function. An NSSS, for the purposes of this document, is a prefabricated integrated treatment unit, comprising frontend (toilet facility) and backend (treatment facility) components that: a) collects, conveys and fully treats the specific input within the NSSS, to allow for safe reuse or disposal of the generated solid and liquid outputs, and the safe emission of air, noise and odour outputs; b) is designed to operate without being connected to a networked sewer or networked drainage systems. This document also covers NSSS backend components that are designed to be integrated with one or more specified frontends. This document is primarily intended for NSSS that are designed to operate without being connected to water and electricity networks. However, it may also be applied to systems that utilize supplies of either water or electricity, or both. This document defines the basic treatable input as primarily human excreta and gives options for extending the range of input substances. Requirements for the protection of human health and the environment are provided by the specified quality of the outputs, and recirculated water, if any. This document provides criteria for the safety, functionality, usability, reliability and maintainability of the system, as well as its compatibility with environmental protection goals. This document does not cover the following aspects: — guidelines for selection, installation, operation and maintenance, and management of NSSS; — requirements for the amount or type of energy or resources to recover; — transportation of treated output outside of the NSSS (e.g. manual transport, transportation by truck or trunk pipes) for further processing, reuse, or disposal; — treatment processes taking place at another location separate from that of the frontend and backend components; — external reuse and disposal of NSSS output; — the plane or surface (e.g. flooring, concrete pad) upon which a fully assembled NSSS is situated; — NSSS constructed in situ without prefabricated parts.

The scope of this document is constrained to the content of the electronic prescription (ePrescription) itself, the digital document which is issued by a prescribing healthcare professional and received by a dispensing healthcare professional. The prescribed medicinal product is to be dispensed through an authorized healthcare professional with the aim of being administered to a human patient. The ePrescription in the administrative workflow of reimbursement is not covered in this document. This document specifies the requirements that apply to ePrescriptions. It describes generic principles that are considered important for all ePrescriptions. This document is applicable to ePrescriptions of medicinal products for human use. Although other kinds of products (e.g. medical devices, wound care products) can be ordered by means of an ePrescription, the requirements in this document are aimed at medicinal products that have a market authorization and at pharmaceutical preparations which are compounded in a pharmacy. This document does not limit the scope to any setting (community, institutional) and leaves it to the national bodies to decide on this matter. This document specifies a list of data elements that can be considered as essential for ePrescriptions, depending on jurisdiction or clinical setting (primary healthcare, hospital, etc.). Ensuring the authenticity of these data elements is in scope and will have impact on the requirements of information systems. Other messages, roles and scenarios (e.g. validation of a prescription, administration, medication charts, EHR of the patient, reimbursement of care and dispensed products) are not covered in this document, because they are country-specific or region-specific, due to differences in culture and in legislation of healthcare. However, requirements and content of ePrescriptions within the context of jurisdictions have a relationship with these scenarios. This document also does not cover the way in which ePrescriptions are made available or exchanged, and the process of prescribing itself. The logistic process of prescribing itself is not part of the scope. A prescription can either be sent (pushed) to a dispenser or either be retrieved (pulled) at the dispenser. However, the requirement for the prescription is described, that it will be able to function in both environments.

This document defines a reference comparison method. This method is applicable to two or more character strings to determine their collating order in a sorted list. The method can be applied to strings containing characters from the full repertoire of ISO/IEC 10646. This method is also applicable to subsets of that repertoire to produce ordering results valid (after tailoring) for a given set of languages for each script. This method uses collation tables derived either from the Common Template Tables (CTT) referenced by this document or from one of their tailoring. The format of the Common Template Table is described using the Backus-Naur Form (BNF). The format is used normatively within this document. This document also defines syntax elements to tailor these Common Template Tables used by the reference comparison method. Furthermore, it defines requirements for a declaration of the differences (delta) between a collation table and a given Common Template Table including the tailoring elements. These Common Template Tables describe an order for all characters encoded in the current and past ISO/IEC 10646 editions, including amendments. They allow for a specification of a fully deterministic ordering. These tables enable the specification of a string ordering adapted to local ordering rules, without requiring an implementer to have knowledge of all the different scripts already encoded in the Universal Coded Character Set (UCS). All these Common Template Tables have reference names which are related to a particular stage of development of the ISO/IEC 10646 Universal coded character set or a particular version of the Unicode Standard. These names and their relationship with ISO/IEC 10646 or the Unicode Standard repertoire are specified by an externally referenced document: Unicode Technical Standard, UTS #10, Unicode Collation Algorithm. This document does not: — mandate a specific comparison method; any equivalent method giving the same results is acceptable; — mandate a specific format for describing or tailoring tables in a given implementation; — mandate specific symbols to be used by implementations; — mandate any specific internal format for intermediate keys used when comparing, nor for the table used. The use of numeric keys is not mandated either; — mandate a context-dependent ordering; — mandate any particular preparation of character strings prior to comparison. NOTE 1 It is typical to do preparation of character strings prior to comparison even if it is not prescribed by this document (see Annex C). NOTE 2 Annex D describes problems that gave way to this document with their anticipated solutions.
