NOTE This document has been prepared by experts coming from CEN/TC 331 and UPU, under the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding between the UPU and CEN. This document (CEN/TS 14631:2005), is the CEN equivalent of UPU1) standa
26、rd S37-5. It may be amended only after prior consultation, between CEN/TC 331 and the UPU Standards Board, in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between CEN and the UPU. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade A

The UPUs contribution to the document was made, by the UPU Standards Board2) and its sub-groups, in accordance with the rules given in Part V of the “General information on UPU standards“. This document is the second version of the Technical Specification, but corresponds to the fifth ve
28、rsion (S37-5) of UPU standard S37. The revisions were primarily developed to ensure alignment between S37 and CEN/TS 14631. Substantive changes to the first version, TS 14631:2003, are: modification of the Foreword, to make it consistent with that in S37-5; use of the term specification rather than
29、standard to retain consistency between the CEN document, which is classed as a Technical Specification, and the UPU one, which is classed as a standard; update of the reference to ANSI MH10.8.2 and removal of the note concerning the draft version for trial use; 5.5.1 now refers to the possibility of
30、 other numeric prefixes being defined, in UPU code list3) 156, without the need to update the main specification; update of 7.2 to reflect the usage of the GIN segment for reporting of container identifiers in UPU standard M34. 1) The Universal Postal Union (UPU) is the specialized institution of th
31、e United Nations that regulates the universal postal service. The postal services of its 189 member countries form the largest physical distribution network in the world. Some 5 million postal employees working in over 660 000 post offices all over the world handle an annual total of 425 billion let
32、ters-post items in the domestic service and almost 6,7 billion in the international service. Some 4.5 billion parcels are sent by post annually. Keeping pace with the changing communications market, posts are increasingly using new communication and information technologies to move beyond what is tr
33、aditionally regarded as their core postal business. They are meeting higher customer expectations with an expanded range of products and value- added services. 2) The UPUs Standards Board develops and maintains a growing number of standards to improve the exchange of postal-related information betwe
34、en posts, and promotes the compatibility of UPU and international postal initiatives. It works closely with posts, customers, suppliers and other partners, including various international organizations. The Standards Board ensures that coherent standards are developed in areas such as electronic dat
35、a interchange (EDI), mail encoding, postal forms and meters. UPU standards are published in accordance with the rules given in Part VII of the General information on UPU standards, which may be freely downloaded from the UPU world-wide web site (www.upu.int). 3) UPU code lists define the interpretat
36、ion to be given to codes used in the context of UPU standards. They are managed by the UPU Data and Code Definition Group and its Code Allocation and Maintenance sub-group, to which requests for the allocation of new code values may be submitted. The code lists are published on the UPU world-wide we
37、b site (www.upu.int) and are freely downloadable.

40、ften useful, for both processing and transportation purposes, to be able to treat a group of postal items with common handling requirements as a single unit called a mail aggregate. This can be thought of as any set of postal items which has been physically grouped so as to permit such common handli
41、ng. Examples include bundles, consignments and the content of a particular sorting machine output stacker or of a postal receptacle, such as a mailbag, tray or roller cage. As shown in Figure 1, mail aggregates can occur at several nested levels. For example, the mail aggregate consisting of the set
42、 of postal items addressed to a particular delivery point can form part of a bundle of postal items destined for the same delivery postcode area, which can in turn be part of a mail aggregate, such as the content of a bag, to be delivered by a particular delivery agent, which in its turn can be part
43、 of a mail aggregate to be transported, in a roller cage, to the delivery office concerned. Key 1 Aggregate (bundle) identifier - removable label 2 Aggregate (tray content) identifier - removable label 3 Aggregate (cage content) identifier - removable label 4 Receptacle (tray) Asset Number - fixed t
44、o receptacle 5 Receptacle (roller cage) Asset Number - fixed to receptacle Figure 1 - Mail aggregate nesting; aggregate identifiers and receptacle asset numbers NOTE 1 Figure 1 shows a roller cage containing both trays and bundles of individual items. The bundles have mail aggregate identifiers on t
45、he strap or wrapping which holds them together; each tray carries both a mail aggregate identifier, printed on a removable tray label, and a fixed tray identifier (a receptacle asset number). Similarly, the roller cage carries both a removable label with a content identifier and a fixed receptacle a
46、sset number. Note that bundles may be loose or placed in bags but, except in the case of explicit bilateral agreement, should not be placed in trays.

47、:2005 (E) 6 Although this is not strictly required, it can simplify handling if mail aggregates are physically constrained to form a unit. Thus: low level mail aggregates are frequently constrained by bands or by poly-wrapping; intermediate level mail aggregates can be housed in trays or mailbags; t
48、hese can in turn be housed in roller cages, or stacked on pallets. In postal terminology, such physical housings are collectively referred to as (postal) receptacles. A postal receptacle is thus any device or container which can be used to physically constrain a mail aggregate in order to simplify i
49、ts handling as a unit. Examples include mailbags, trays, wheeled containers (roller cages), pallets, pallet-based containers and airfreight containers (ULDs). Road, rail and sea vehicles and containers can also be regarded as receptacles if appropriate. Postal receptacles are often handled by and exchanged between several parties, for example one or more postal operators, customers, carriers, delivery agents, customs authorities, etc. Though they represent a significant capital asset
