Electronic data interchange for administration, commerce and transport (EDIFACT) -- Application level syntax rules (Syntax version number: 4, Syntax release number: 1) -- Part 2: Syntax rules specific to batch EDI

This part of ISO 9735 specifies syntax rules specifically for the formatting of batch messages to be interchanged between computer application systems. For the transfer of packages in a batch environment, see ISO 9735-8.

Overview

ISO 9735-2:2002 specifies application-level syntax rules specific to batch Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) under the UN/EDIFACT framework. This part of ISO 9735 focuses on the formatting and structuring of batch EDI interchanges between computer application systems, clarifying interchange, group and message organization while deferring communications protocols to other documents. The standard uses Syntax version number 4 and Syntax release number 01 and must be read in conjunction with ISO 9735-1 and ISO 9735-10.

Key Topics

• Batch interchange structure: header and trailer sequencing (e.g., UNA service string advice, UNB/UNZ interchange header and trailer).
• Grouping and messaging: definition of GROUP (UNG/UNE), MESSAGE (UNH/UNT), and MESSAGE BODY composition.
• Segment and data element organization: segment tags, stand-alone and composite data elements, repeating elements and component elements.
• Conformance rules: how to claim conformance, supported options, and dependency on related parts for full compliance.
• Normative references and maintenance: relationship to ISO 9735-1 and ISO 9735-10 and the UN Trade Data Interchange Directory (UNTDID).

Keywords: EDIFACT, batch EDI, syntax rules, interchange, conformance, UNTDID, UN/EDIFACT, UNB, UNH, UNZ.

Applications

ISO 9735-2:2002 delivers practical value for organizations implementing or maintaining batch EDI solutions:

• Enables consistent and interoperable message formatting across trading partners and EDI gateways.
• Supports development of EDI translators, middleware and integration adapters that must create or interpret EDIFACT batch messages.
• Provides conformance guidance useful for testing and validating batch interchange structure and message composition.
• Assists implementers in mapping internal data models to EDIFACT-compliant message bodies while ensuring adherence to UNTDID message design rules.
• Useful for industries that rely on bulk or scheduled exchanges (logistics, procurement, financial settlement) where batch processing is preferred.

Note: ISO 9735-2 does not specify communications or transport protocols; for package transfer in batch environments see ISO 9735-8.

Related Standards

• ISO 9735-1:2002 - Syntax rules common to all parts (mandatory companion).
• ISO 9735-3 - Interactive EDI syntax rules (comparable interactive rules).
• ISO 9735-4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10 - Other parts addressing reports, security, associated data, package transfer, key management and syntax service directories.
• UN/EDIFACT / UNTDID - Message design guidelines and directories that govern EDIFACT message content and maintenance.

By following ISO 9735-2:2002, implementers ensure predictable batch EDI behavior, improved interoperability, and clearer conformance criteria for EDIFACT exchanges.

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 9735-2 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 9735-2:1998). 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 all parts of the
ISO 9735 series. 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” were removed in this second edition of ISO 9735-2.
Definitions from all parts of the ISO 9735 series have been consolidated and included in ISO 9735-1.
Together with ISO 9735-1, 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.

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
batch messages, the m
