Project Purpose

An implementation guideline for the EDIFACT Syntax version 3 exists today and is published by UNECE on their website. A guideline for the latest version, 4, does not exist and an ISO equivalent was never published.

Project Scope

The project will develop a guidance document explaining how to implement the technical specification ISO 9735. At this point, it will only cover part 11: Version 3 compatible profile for Version 4 of ISO 9735. Other parts of the standard may be developed in subsequent projects if requested.

The work will be carried in the ISO/UNECE JWG1- Joint syntax working group. It is expected that the deliverable will be published as an implementation guideline by UN/CEFACT and a Technical Report by ISO.

Project Deliverables

The project's deliverable is:

  • Guidelines.

Exit Criteria

Final document ready for publication.

Impact analysis

UN/EDIFACT is the most implemented EDI standard in private and public globally.  To ensure efficient trade facilitation, such as single window, it is important to align its implementation, which is the purpose of this project.

Project Team Membership and Required Functional Expertise

Membership is open to UN/CEFACT experts with broad knowledge in the area of: The EDIFACT Syntax (ISO 9735).

Geographical Focus

The geographical focus of the project is global.

Beneficiaries

Trade facilitation in developing and transition economies is only feasible when lowering the cost of implementation by clear (ideally single) rules and guidelines.

Initial Contributions

  • UN/EDIFACT Syntax Implementation Guidelines [based on syntax version 3]
  • ODETTE - Structure of an EDIFACT Interchange

Resource Requirements

Participants in the project shall provide resources for their own participation. The existence and functioning of the project shall not require any additional resources from the UNECE secretariat.
